==== Economy Interactions ====
[https://www.youtube.com/@Astyrrean Mechan] just released a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptbm36DMl9Y video describing how two economies can interact] at one body. Basically, the ''input'' to an economy also matters. Industrial economies consume a lot of metal. If you have a body with Refinery and Industrial economies, much of the output from the Refinery will be consumed by Industry. To get a lot of output from a Refinery, it should be paired with an Extraction economy.
'''There is still a lot of disagreement as to how to get an Economy to produce more output.''' It may be that an economy needs to be "leveled up" by constructing facilities with the same economic influence, or it may be that Mechan's theory below is the way to build up an economy.  Choose a path and construct at your own risk.

[https://www.youtube.com/@Astyrrean Mechan] has two example markets in the video. [https://inara.cz/elite/station-market/743168/ His station with a Refinery/Industrial market] is in Pleiades Sector IX-T b3-2. It still imports most metals. Commander Matt Sweeny Tony demonstrated [https://inara.cz/elite/station-market/754986/ a station with an Extraction/Refinery market] that produces kilotons of metals. That station is in [https://inara.cz/elite/starsystem-stations/304804/ Col 285 Sector XA-D c13-20]. If you want to see what facilities are generating that market, sort the stations by distance and look at the facilities that are 118 Ls from the star. (Apologies if I have "Matt Sweeny Tony" wrong: Mechan said it once, quickly, and the name isn't written in the video's notes.)
