Implant manufacturing

Hello there, newbie here.

I have not explored industry at all yet, but wanted at least to give it a try.
To my greatest disappointment the Internet AI informed me that one can not manufacture spirits/liqueur, or similar luxury/hedonistic items. Boosters is the closest I guess.

The only other thing that might tick my box is implants.
The Internet AI informed me that you can manufacture implants, but only high end ones.

That is certainly interesting as cybernetics is a passion of my character (in EVE and RL).
I assume I would also be able to use them myself then, besides “maybe” selling?

That sound like something I would like to do.

But my question is, how easy/hard is it to do that by myself?
Until now I have only lived the solo life in EVE (If you don’t count getting one-shot when probe scanning clueless in a astero)
How much interaction which others (like joining a corp) do I need to do to be able to manufacture implants?
Can I even build and protect the structures that manufacture the implants without help, or protection of a corp?
Doing PVE and finding the BPC sounds like a good way to add some motivation and purpose in EVE if it also results in some shiny implants, so that part of it sounds fun.

I just want to know if it’s realistic for a solo player that honestly don’t have as much time as i wished to put into EVE, to have such lofty goals?

Any implant with Low-Grade, Mid-Grade, or High-Grade in it’s name (often Pirate Attribute Implants) can be manufactured by finding BPCs in Data sites, as drops, or LP stores. Hardwirings are purchased from LP stores.

Materials required are among others Reaction, PI, and possibly loot from Data sites, as far as I’m aware.

What a weird question.

Well the AI answer gave the impression that I needed some kind of player structure to manufacture high end implants, I know almost nothing about structures, except that there have been major changes to EVE when it comes to player structures, and it is my impression that it take some experience, ISK and work to build, place or defend structures, so I assumed it is not the easiest for a solo player that not that into industry (except for implants then).

You can build them in regular NPC stations.

It is weird you cannot manufacture all the normal implants.
