One other point... Ice changed about a year ago from a static resource to a more dynamic one. However, due to ample warning, people stockpiled ice.
I know for my Indy corp, we are still sitting on about a year's worth of fuel blocks. Others followed a similar route. This impacts prices because the demand is still low. Also, my corp Indy alt corp does PI and mining. So again, less demand because we supply ourselves, so in turn prices are low.
That said, don't abandon your PI... Robotics ans mechanical parts are in demand beyond just fuel blocks. For example, every T2 drone requires at least 1 robotic. So you may find making robotics, mechanical parts, and mining ore can net you the profit you want without going into fuel blocks. |

The margins on Fuel Blocks vary from region to region and depending on how many people are working in your area. tbh, imo it isn't worth it to harvest the materials yourself. I buy off the market and make a healthy margin.
About half the materials cost is isotopes. So if you were to bother harvesting, I would recommend ice mining. Or you could make a deal with some ice miners to buy compressed ice and get it shipped to your location.

Build drones and forget fuel blocks. The work involved in fuel production if you don't have access to a freighter makes it a laborious task and the profit margin is low.
On the other hand you can develop your PI to supply T2 drone production. Get your feet wet in T2 to boot and the product sells fast and is easy to transport. |

Go for high ROI items with more intensive labor behind it like drones, ammos, tech 2 modules and rigs. This will allow you to build capital quicker and hit higher volume items allowing quicker turnover. Also dont forget to research where you want to retail and train up your tradings skills to lower taxes and increase order visibility. Once you get a nice bit of capital you can look to focus on easy low margin high volume things such as fuel blocks. Don't forget to look into teams and manufacturing in different systems including using a POS.
The big thing to remember is success for a builder lies between max profit per slot for period of time or real life hours invested to create value over a period of time.
