Business Thursday: lazy man's PI

Posted on 22:00 by Unknown
What is this? You surely didn't see it in any PI guide. The reason for that is that it's highly suboptimal in terms of ISK/pilot. I created it for one purpose: lazy ISK for as little effort as possible.

In the middle, you can see a storage facility. The extractor is routed to it and pour aqueous liquids into it. No one serious extracts aqueous liquids, because they are dirt cheap. You can run such facility on any Terran, Storm or Ocean planet. Next to the storage, in the vertical column there are 4 primary processors, processing it to water and filling it back to the storage facility. The storage is there so you don't have to worry about extraction fluctuations. I restart the extractor every second day and replace it if the production goes below 20000/hour. Which is low. But I don't care, moving it more often wouldn't worth the effort.

You can see two launchpads. Both of them are filled with electrolytes I buy. Each feeds two advanced processors, both creating Coolants from the electrolytes and the water. There are two launchpads because I don't want to visit them more often than once a week.

The profit? 5 coolants/hour/facility, 9000 ISK price, 8x450 ISK for the electrolytes, 10% tax, 60M/month/planet. With 6 planets, this is 2/3 PLEX and takes minimal effort to babysit if you have an Orca. Enjoy!

Note: As water sells for 200 ISK, you should run a 16 processors facility if you don't mind the daily hauling. That's about 130M/month/planet, but again, the price is daily hauling. Here you not only don't haul water, but also don't pay for it, increasing the profit/unit, at the cost of having 1/4 as many units created. As a hauling round is about 15 minutes, doing it daily would be +4 hours/month that doesn't worth me +120M.


PS: I just can't resist commenting on this:
This is the GSF alliance update. There are no units on the graph, but it can't be trillions or CFC would field supercarrier fleets and not Caracals. They are billions. The war is for 200 billion ISK/month. Hell, it can be for 200B/week or even day! 20000 pilots fight for it. So the average CFC pilot (not person) will see 10M/month-or-week-or-day spoils. Compare it with the "do eight jumps a week Highsec PI" above with nearly 360M/month/pilot (80/week, 11/day). I mean spending countless of hours grinding structures, running into R&K pipebombs, running from PL supers, being trolled by TEST badposters and paying ransom for your slowcat fleet definitely worth it. Whoever wins this great war will be totally the richest in the galaxy. I envy them so much.
