  6. In the Planetary Colonies window, Right Click on the planet you just warped to and choose “View in Planet Mode”,
  7. Click in “Scan”,
  8. Cycle through the materials available in the planet and evaluate which one of the materials is the one with most reserves (white color),
  9. Click in “Build”,
  10. Deploy your Command Center (anywhere… it really doesnt matter),

  21. “Start Program”,
  22. Commit your change,
  23. Build a Storage Facility as close as possible to your Extractor Head but outside of the white area,
  24. Commit your change,
  25. Build six “Basic Industry Facilities” around your Extractor Head,
  26. Commit your change,
  27. Link your “Extractor Head” to your “Storage Facility”,
  28. Upgrade the link between your Extractor Head and your Storage Facility,
  29. Link your Storage Facility to each one of the Basic Industry Facilities you have built,
  30. Left Click in each one of the Basic Industry Facilities and choose the Product you will manufacture based on the input material your are extracting in your Extractor Head,
  31. Commit your changes,
  32. Route the product from your Storage Facility to each one of the Basic Industry Facilities,
  33. Commit your changes,
  34. Build a Spaceport close to your Storage Facility,
  35. Link each one of your Basic Industry Facilities to your Spaceport,
  36. Commit your changes,
  37. Route the output of your Basic Industry Facilities to your Spaceport,
  38. Commit your changes,
  39. Wait 48 hours for your cycle to finish,
  40. In your Neocom access the Planetary View in the Business Menu,
  41. Undock with your Epithal,
  42. Access the Customs Office for the Planet you want to refresh your cycle,
  43. Transfer the PI from your Spaceport to the Customs Office,

  45. Warp to each one of the Customs Office, access them and place the PI into your PI hold,
  46. Dock,
  47. While docked, In the Planetary Colonies window, choose “View in Planet Mode”,
  48. Select your Extractor Control Unit,
