I am building Integrity Response Drones out of bought raw planet material.
Spent 58.5 million on the raw materials and I got the material cheap.
The drones sold for 42 million. 
So basically Planetary Interaction is a huge ISK sink. Yet another worthless expansion from CCP. 
So you could have done the math along the way (or used the math other people on these forums provided), discovered that you would make more isk by selling other PI products (maybe coolant/enriched uranium/biofuels, I don't know) than drones, and made more money but you didn't. And that's because PI is an "isk sink". Or were you being sarcastic?

I am saying that the time and effort put into trying to produce the current profitable item for the day is easily eclipsed by ONE high sec level 4 mission.
Do you understand that? 1 level 4 mission. And not to mention I don't have to go thru the mess of market PvP trying to buy whatever items at the cheapest and sell at the most just to break even or if your lucky turn a slight profit.
Yes, thank you. I got your point about the missions. But seeing as this probably wasn't intended to make people billions isk/24hr extraction period, I'm more curious if you understand that you lost 16.5 million isk because you couldn't do the math. Out of all the profitable PI options, you picked the least profitable one. Which is why I only quoted that part in my response.
Your lvl 4 mission edit came after your main point, which was that you lost money due to your own error, thus PI = ISK sink. That's like me saying PvP = isk sink because I suck huge balls doing it.

weak argument
So P.I. is a feature that players will have to wait a few months before doing because its broken. NPC seeded stuff as your competition. Players exploiting prior to players being able to actually extract from the planets.
No need to get mad because you can't do basic math. Let's say I want to make a product that the market says is worth 5 mil isk. For me to make that product, I need to by materials which in this one location, at this current time, are worth 10 mil isk. So I chose (just like you!) to make and sell a product at a loss of 5 mil isk. You do all this while keeping in mind there were nulldozensnull of other PI products you could have made money on.
You could do this with every market mechanic. No wonder you don't want to touch the market - you have no idea how it works.
Yes, I will go back to my "watered down Sim City" and continue to make millions of isk while offline.
