EVE Echoes Guide: Planetary Production, Mining and Industry
:background_color(white):format(jpeg))
As the EVE Echoes launched the open beta worldwide, here you will find a simple overlook at how to get started in the basics of Production, Mining and Industry in Echoes.
Planetary Production.
Planetary production involves installing a "Development array" on a planet, in which it will continuously mine materials from the planet. A full guide is available by pressing the AI assistant on the planetary production page.[b] However, All players should set this up early as a priority, it's the games main form of passive income and if done correctly is rather lucrative.

Mining: Stap mining lasers onto any ship and you can mine, however it is reccomended to use either a Venture mining frigate or mining barge due to their HUGE ore holds, which will save many trips back home, and their in built warp core protection, stopping enemies from easily blocking your warp so you can mine with a touch more safety.
Beta Specific Information: For testing purposes, Compressed ore in the beta, generally found in lower/null security systems, gives 10 x the amount of minerals it normally would.
Industry Production: The majority of ships in game are created through industry. The premise is simple, buy a blueprint off the market (They are seeded in most NPC stations in some form, however rare or unique blueprints can be in certain locations, such as the Garmur/Orthrus faction ships in 5ZXX-K), use that blueprint in the industry screen and it will show you what you need to produce it. Supply them materials, click produce, pay a small isk free and your production order will start. Larger ships and modules take more time to build and cost more minerals and isk.
Key difference from PC Eve of note: Blueprints in Echoes are ONE TIME USE items, for PC Eve players, imagine every blueprint to be a 1 run BPC and you'll get the gist.

Some notes for newbies to save you time and effort!
Planetary Materials are the main bottleneck in this game, they can be very lucrative depending on market conditions. A more in depth guide will be posted in the future, but for the time being the most important things to note are as follows.
▶ Planetary materials are produced in higher speeds and quantities in lower security space, and even more so in null security space.
▶ Not all Planetary materials are currently in use in Beta, expect this to change but, market price is a good indication of what is and isn't used.
▶ There are 0 downsides to running planets, try and set them up early and access them often, it will save you a lot of isk.
Pyrite and Tritanium can be hard to sell due to the sheer volume of them on the market at times, as such it is reccomended if you're mining to aim for ores with higher and more valuable materials if you want quicker and more reliable isk.
