I set up 1 planet that made Silicon and just hauled it to the market (or just sell at low prices at LS NPC station since a 25% discount on what I get makes up for not needing to jump gates). Silicon was more expensive than Oxidizing Compound, Chiral Structures, or Proteins. After a 3 month break, I noticed that Silicon lost 25% of its value at Jita and those other 3 greatly increased in price. Ok I bet on the wrong horse no big deal. But what on Earth is consuming the 3 PI I mentioned that greatly increased in price? I could understand a huge consumption in fuel blocks shooting up the price of Oxygen, but for those 3 I’m drawing a blank as to why they rose in prices. ---

To me it seems all of them are dipping in the last few months (on the far right of the graphs), but not surprisingly so as they’re still within their historical ranges: ## Silicon ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/4/d/5/4d5087a189288ac936e73f0158b37bd920ede8a0.jpeg) > **[EVE Tycoon](https://evetycoon.com/market/9828/history)** ## Oxidizing Compound ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/b/9/0/b900bbde57aebc6bba6331e8485e24dab0de260e.jpeg) > **[EVE Tycoon](https://evetycoon.com/market/2392/history)** ## Proteins Scale is a bit different, but even here I see a dip on the end for the past few months. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/c/5/9/c59696c37b03450ab42c4c459c4a65c310a3f909.png) > **[EVE Tycoon](https://evetycoon.com/market/2395/history)** ## Chiral Structures ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/c/9/1/c918b1e5d2d7c28740ebf9b21abc7fff03b9102c.jpeg) > **[EVE Tycoon](https://evetycoon.com/market/2401/history)** Why these PI products all dip in price? No idea. I’m no trader. There haven’t been any major PI changes lately, so I can only speculate when I say the biggest economy-impacting event in the past few months has been the implosion of one of the major null sec coalitions might have had an impact on this somehow. ---

Huh you’re right they did fall, I just had a different “baseline” so I missed the whole picture, although that still leaves the question of why. You’re probably right that what is going on in Dronelands is affecting things back in Empire space. Oh as I typed this, someone put out an order for a Sigel’s worth of Silicon in the system at a 70% discount to Jita and I sold it since apparently I’m lazy enough to sell to that guy since it avoids gate jumps, but not the next guy who put a buy order at 80% discount (range 3 jumps and at the same NPC station). Looks like I got hauling to do February. ---
