Edited by: Krawdad on 19/08/2010 00:38:28 This boils down to a simple question: is there a site or program that will help me understand the uses of many of the items in the game?
The reason being, I find the in-game UI to be pretty much useless in telling me what an items is used for. Example: I know that I can make Genetically Enhanced Livestock via PI, and that it, in turn, can be used to create Hermetic Membranes, but I have no idea what either of those are used for! Its difficult for me to know how to price items like these, or what kind of demand there is/will be for them because I don't know what they're for.
Up until just the other week I had no idea that Coolant was used as as POS fuel either! There are so many items in the game, but I haven't yet found anything that explains their uses to a beginner. Is one just supposed to stumble upon the knowledge after playing for several years?
Edit: I've tried the items database on the EVElopedia and it doesn't help either. I also use the 4WARD corp website for my PI chain research, but it doesn't have descriptions regarding what the items do.

I don't know if any such list, but try the Science and Industry forum. They might know over there. ______________________ Agony Unleashed Home of the PvP University |

I do not believe anyone has set anything up.
From a Google search I found the following.
Trade goods used for running Control Towers at Player Owned Stations are listed in here.
A similar thread from Jan of last year.
I hope those help a little.

The highest level (tier4) PI products are used to make sovereignty modules like TCU, SBU and IHUB. They're also use to make POS modules/tower and even Outpost eggs. Also T2 stuff and Nanite Paste. You should check the BPOs (sold by NPCs since a month or so) to see exactly how much.
Here is a good list of what each NPC trade good is used for.
Genetically Enchanced Livestock has no direct application except to make Hermetic Membranes which are used to make Self-Harmonizing Power Core, which in turn is one of the components to make POS / Sov Structures.

Beat me too it =) Was gonna link that.
Basically as far as PI goes it boils down to this:
Some (5) things made in PI are used to fuel Player Owned Station.
Some (10) things made in PI are used to build Player Owned Stations, Outposts, and Tech 2 Items.
Some (the rest) things made in PI are used to build Player Owned Stations and Outposts.
A lot of factors play into what a certain product is worth, and regardless of how useful one product may be if enough people build it the price will drop and vice versa. A pretty decent market if you want to be involved in PI and not just autopilot most of it though is the products that require two types of planets. For instance Polyarmaids and Silicate Glass cannot be built without hauling one material to another. If you look at the market these naturally have a higher value than other similar (tier 2) products.
Edit: Actually I'm wrong which is proof of the market. They were higher and now they are average - lower again. So that just confirms that you need to watch the market and build accordingly, or just build POS fuels which have a higher overall steady demand than the rest.
Coolant is especially high at the moment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CAPSLOCK, BECAUSE SOMETIMES REGULAR FONT JUST, ISN'T, GOOD ENOUGH. |

This is what you are searching for:
http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/inventory_search.php
This DAMN machine at work won`t let me post the link, so copy-paste.
Simply write the item and it shows you all the blueprints needing this spec item.
Hope it helps.

There are some more obscure trade goods that aren't PI Produced. Examples include Plutonium and Carbon. Mostly these are used to build outposts once the egg is anchored.
