I would like to initiate a lobby to have a button added to planets that starts your extracters redoing what they were doing last in one hit.
I currently spend over 1/2 an hour getting all my extracters started again and would like for there to be a quicker way.
Obviously this is only going to help people who want to extract for the same amount of time every time they renew their extracters but it would be extremely handy. Looking for an alliance in 0.0... |

Not going to happen. Methinks CCP wants there to be a small time sink for PI, otherwise if it becomes TOO easy then too many people get into it and the economy of it is ruined.
I read somewhere an idea that is interesting. One button to restart extractors, however, for each extractor there is, say 15 seconds, you have to wait to submit. So if you are setting 6 extractors, you have to wait 90 seconds to get them back going again.

I get what you're saying but, as has been discussed ad nauseum, "clicking" doesn't make something "hard" or "challenging", it just makes it a grind. There are better, smarter, more inventive ways from keeping PI being "TOO easy" than having us click over and over and over. .

Well something -must- happen. Time sinks are fine and nice, and your solution could work. Just multiply "startup" time per extractor, and add that before actually starting. But my wrist cannot take the idiotic mindboggling useless doubleclicking anymore.

Exactly how many planets have you got? because I suspect that's where your real problem lies...

I have 5 planets and with between 17 and 19 extracters on each. I wouldn't mind if as suggested there was a mass delay, 10-15 seconds per extracter would be about right. I just want to be able to start them in one hit without having to click 60+ times pre planet. The time spent doing it is what is frustrating, not the time that it would take to automate.

^^This, sometimes I just can't face the thoughts of doing a round of my PI planets and all that double clicking.

This was something at least mentioned in the CSM5 . Apparently ccp is planing to do a lot more work on the pi interface. Personally I think a show route icon would be useful so you can tell exactly where individual routes are headed

And if you attempt to use 30 minute cycles to crank up production madness will assuredly not be far behind.....

So, I spent about an hour running through all my sell orders...
On the wallet, orders page... right click, view marekt details. See I'm no longer the lowest price. Right click, modify order. Type in the new price. Submit. Repeat for about 50+ orders per toon for 2 toons.
By the time I'm done, I may as well start back at the top again as a lot of the orders are undercut by someone else within seconds or minutes.
I think, wouldn't it be better if I could just have a ".01 less than lowest at this location"?
How about if I could double click on the order, then double click the "set .01 less than station" or ".01 less than system" or ".01 less than region".
Oh man!!! A half hour of double clicking would be SOOOOO much better than right click, select, scroll, right click, modify, type a price, submit, repeat...
Oh.... how about a button that sets ALL my orders to .01 below the lowest in their station/system/region?
And, every time I start getting low on something I have a sell order for, how about it automatically kicking off another manufacturing job for me?
And, if I start to run low on materials, I'd love it to kick off a buy order for me, and keep it set to .01 greater than the highest buy order for that station.
Then, when I'm done spending all my time babysitting orders and kicking off manufacturing jobs, I'll be able to do more invention with all the clicking and crud required for that.... I need to be able to set up my basic invention tasks, and then have a single button that says 'repeat all tasks'.
Or, perhaps we could all grow up and realize that ALL industry is a tedious and mind-numbing click-fest.
But, the point is moot since CCP has already said that changes to PI are coming.

working in wallet and market is much more interesting than klicking the extractors...
i caught myself thinking: "i cant be bothered to double-klick all the extractors AGAIN, F*** it, its not worth my time"
iam affraid many players had also this thought, but hey, EVE gives so much more, lets focus on diff things

You know that there's a solution right? Don't do it. No one is forcing you to do PI, if the double clicking is so onerous and you just can't take it anymore, fine don't do it. If the ISK isn't worth the time for you skip it. If you're collecting materials for your POS you can just buy your mats off the market if the double clicking is too hard. Same thing if you're using them to build POS structures or caps.

On the one hand, it is kind of tedious to reset zillions of extractors 3 times a day. I imagine this is extra painful in high sec where it takes 14 extractor to run a couple of processors. My answer? Move to low sec where you only have 7-8 extractors per planet.
On the other hand, pretty much everything you can do outside of wormholage to make money is vastly too boring. Mining? Bleh. Trading? update 100 orders 4 times a day for .01isk every day. Missions? Park your CNR, spam missiles, loot/salvage 50 cans, repeat over and over again doing the same stuff.... over and over again.
Personally, I'd be totally happy if they left PI the way it is and spent all their effort on making more dynamic missions that resembled (good) pvp a little more than it does now.
Anyways, if you don't like going the extractor route, you can always supply your procs with buy orders for P1 instead of extracting it yourself. +++ "Etiquette is for the Dojo. In war there is only victory or death." - Eiji Yoshikawa |

Originally by: Magnus Orin If it takes too much of your time to click buttons for free isk.
Free isk you say? Do you also say 'Mined it myself so it's free'? There's no such thing as free isk. Everything that takes time costs ISK. If I spend an hour clicking, I could have spent the time doing 45M in sanctums. This means that my clicking-hour is worth 45M. If for any reason it doesn't make me the same profit it's not worth it, unless I get other benefits, like logistics (not having to buy my fuel from empire etc).
You ******s thinking your time is free is what's wrong with the economy.

I quite like it. Simply use 4-day cycles and stagger your different planets to start on different days.
