Honestly, I don`t see how this will stand as it is in the long run...
The yeld is so low on high sec. planets, that the time it takes on a day to manage 4 colonies and actually make some profit is easily surpassed by mining on the same system with a hulk or running lvl 3 missions.
The output on 2nd components is s***, and the number of clicks required to activate everyday 4 colonies with 18 extractors each is a joke.
CCP should play what they design, because as it is, the only way to make profit of it is recruiting newbs to train the skills and deliver you the goods.

Ive just started mucking around with PI.
Thoughts so far...
The Links/Routes thing is ridiculous, all you require are routes.
There is another problem with the 'supply chain' in that its not obvious when you will achieve the minimum required for process. Neither is it obvious you are overloading a fab/store.
Planetary links should be available to take x product to B planet and automatically have it be sent down for y processing - this might be doable but it really isnt obvious and thus easy.
You really have to do a tutorial, i gunned it at first and got in a mess. Not a downside, just a warning.
I have a plan thought out and know what im aiming for, worked out all the ways to get it and will come back after some success.

Know what's going to be even more fun? Isn't the purpose of Dust enabling the ability of those lovely PI sites to be waged war on and destroyed? Good luck with that.

The best...err...ok, only thing about PI is the fact that a corp can now produce its own fuel, O2, etc...for thier PoS. Other than that i/d/k. 
Of course, one of the things I find totally hysterical is that they actually think that IF DUST isn't a BUST they actually think that after a PI structure is destroyed that we (capsuleers) will actually waste time rebuilding them so DUST players have something to do.

PI is an interesting diversion, if not a big ISK generator. I've set up a couple of planets just for the fun of it.
Yes, maybe PI is a bit of a clickfest, but that's hardly a negative worth singling out. For comparison, here's a run-down of various in-game activities:
Clickfest
PI
Mining
Research
Invention
Manufacturing
Trade
Missioning
Ratting
PvP
Not Clickfest
Autopilot Hauling
Skill Training
Feel free to add what I've missed...

I don't mind a bit of clicking if most of my clicks involve some (interesting) decision. PI doesn't involve any interesting decision other than the planning and the selling part. Especially keeping your installations operating involves utterly mindless clicking.
I've last two weeks or so at 24-hour click cycles, now on to 96 hour cycles and in a couple of weeks likely won't bother at all. Just too boring and mind-numbing.

PI is just another little toy we've been given to play with when/if we get bored from other stuff, therefore it's good as an alternative option.

After seeing a lot of PI infrastructures, it's no wonder why most people are havig a hard time with it.
Ive already made over 20mil in less than 2 weeks with 4 planets in .5 space.
Stop blaming CCP for a lack of imagination. PI is passive. Set it up CORRECTLY - then do something else the make money actively.
Congrats, you finally found something that is less profitable than mining.

Hint for CCP:
- Right-click Command Center
- Chose option 'All Extractors'
- Choose between 30 minutes, 5 hours, 23 hours, 3 days
DEAR GOD this please!! make it happen CCP.

I make around 300 to 400 million per week out in 0.0 with PI. I've got no complaints. Plus it essentially replaces ship spinning when I'm bored.

Ok, realistically:
With a effort equal to having to log in once a day, do a bit of clicking (granted) and rotate goods once a week, I can make 1 mill ISK per hour (at least) from PI.
That is 24 million ISK per day, 720 ISK per 30 days. Well, that is enough to pay for a PLEX (even two) and still have ISK in spare.
Seems fine enough by me. Oh and the OP do have a point correctly, though he maybe did not high light it well enough; to enjoy PI you really need to set your infrastructure right. I have found that is the trick to not get worm out from having to check the colonies every five hour to see if things still are running smooth. And it reduces the amount of necessary clicks too.

Honestly Im surprised anyone thought this would be any different. If something is open to EVERYONE then it the value of whatever it makes will drop. You can make what... lets say 20 different items? There are generally, in the evenings, 40,000 players online playing? If only half of those do PI, that's 20,000 people doing PI which means an average of 1000 different people making whatever you are making. :-P
PI requires very little effort. It is perfect for people like myself who log on maybe 10 minutes a day at most. 20 mil a week is more than fine for 1 hour of work a week.
PI has extremely low entrance requirements. You could be up and running in minutes and could be far more than decent within 7-8 days of training. ~20 days = best you could be at it (I think? Could be wrong on that last one).
So yea, the only thing CCP could do to increase PI income would be to add a TON of new resources to get. I wouldn't worry about it so much- PI is for a certain type of player. If you are an active player who has time to rat/mission, it simply won't bring in the same money as what you could be making.

I set up 3 planets with 15, 14 and 10 extractors...
That comes to 159 clicks to activate them... 
SO, what you are saying is that CCP created a UI that is complete FAIL. Can't say that I'm surprised after using the other UIs in the game. Their UI designer (assuming that they have one) is either ******ed, or hates players, IMO.
The guy was interviewed during alliance tournament and very proud of what he had done...

That's pretty fail, since 20m is about 2 hours worth of running missions.

yea...I had to close the stream as it was painful to watch the guy responsible for so much garbage in the game fumble through his explanation of what he thought he had accomplished.

Wow - This is still alive. Yes PI UI forkflow Sucks major. But that wasn't the topic.
Since I have a chance Id like to report over 600Mil in profits since.
But I admit, even with these profits, I am using it less and less and all the clicking really hurts.
I Open the PI screen... begin my first click, then quickly EXIT.

Interesting.
I have 4 planets harvesting materials and producing the first level products.
I have 1 planet doing all other production to produce a level 4 product.
It takes me about 15 minutes to start all extractors, haul materials to my production set up, and pick up my finished product.
Each day produces about 20+ mil in finished product.
I can spare 15 minutes a day to produce 140mil/week. It will be far less time than that once they give us a "start all extractors" option.
For new players this is a significant boost to their overall income.
For older players it is merely a supplimental source of income for little effort (after the initial setup). It was never meant to be the sole or even primary source of income for a player.
Personally I will be using it as a low maintenance income stream from specialty alts that otherwise would be producing no real income for me.
