# Rocky body'''.'''  This gives a base economy of Refinery + 1.0.  Building a Surface - Planetary Port - Outpost Civilian or Surface - Planetary Port - Port will produce [[CMM Composite]].  There's a bonus if the system's reserves level is Major or Pristine, and a penalty for Low or Depleted reserves. If the body has geological signals, biological signals, or terraforming, you may need to add Refinery Hubs on the surface to get the Refinery strength high enough to be one of the top two Economies.

# High Metal Content body.  This gives a base economy of Extraction + 1.0.  You will need to build one of the Planetary Ports with Colony economy (Outpost Civilian or Port) and then build one or more Refinery Hubs.  If the body has geological signals, biological signals, or terraforming, you may need to add Refinery Hubs on the surface to get the Refinery strength high enough to be one of the top two Economies.

As long as the Refinery Economy stays in one of the top two spots of the market, you can build whatever else you want in the system (or even on that body).
