'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message — '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />

=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message — '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message — '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message — '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message — '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message — '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message — '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message &mdash; '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message &mdash; '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message &mdash; '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message &mdash; '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message &mdash; '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message &mdash; '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message &mdash; '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message &mdash; '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message &mdash; '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will display the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message &mdash; '''(Type of gas in site)'''<br />
|Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed= yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo or mining hold. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the mining/gas holds of specialized mining and hauling ships. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to V allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to II (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or V (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A Venture with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to IV has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized mining hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The Prospect has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger mining hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
Most Nebula sites will desplay the following pop-up message when warped to. This can be useful to determine if a bookmark is still connected to an active site or if it has despawned. The message's title will be the name of the type of gas within the site.<br />
{{MessageBox|Pop-up message<br />
|'''(Type of gas in site)''' - Originally thought to be little more than a picturesque deviation from the monotonous emptiness of space, scientists and unscrupulous entrepreneurs alike have begun to appreciate the various gas cloud formations that have been discovered in recent years. Initial research into the properties of the gaseous phenomena revealed that when it came to facilitating the growth of certain types of crystal, they were one of the most conducive environments in the entire cluster.<br />
At first the crystal byproducts were viewed as a potential military innovation, offering slightly improved cost efficiency in electronics and weapons manufacture. When their massive potential for use in booster production was discovered however, viewpoints shifted dramatically, and nowadays they are coveted as a fundamental resource driving the burgeoning booster industry.<br />
|collapsed=yes}}<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />

=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />

* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />

=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />

* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 100% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 50% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

{{Industry Links}}<br />
'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 50% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 50% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />

<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 50% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />

The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 50% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 50% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

<br />
=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />

'''Gas cloud harvesting''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Medical boosters|combat booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production.<br />
<br />
Players harvesting (or "huffing") gas locate a "nebula" in known space or a "[[Wormhole sites#Gas sites|fullerite reservoir]]" in wormhole space, and collect it with a gas cloud harvester module. Note that although the in-game probing window classifies "[[Combat sites#Chemical Labs|chemical labs]]" as a type of gas site, they are actually combat-and-hacking locations, and should be avoided by gas harvesting ships.<br />
<br />
== Types of gas ==<br />
The three types of gas are all found in cosmic signatures which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.<br />
<br />
=== Mykoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Mykoserocin is used to produce synth variation of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]], and neurolink enhancers, which are part of faction and capital ship production chain. Nebulae with Mykoserocin can be found in high, low and null security space. All of them reside in non-deadspace areas and are not guarded by NPCs.<br />
<br />
Please note that list of locations where each Nebula site spawns is not exhaustive. It was expanded and new data is still being added.<br />

{{expansion past | Mykoserocin used to spawn similarly to Cytoserocin, highly concentrated in a specific constellation of a specific region. This was changed on 2021-04-13, when its spawn locations were significantly extended to accommodate increased demand. List of old spawn locations is below:<br />
<br />
* Amber: The Forge (Mivora)<br />
* Golden: Lonetrek (Umamon)<br />
* Viridian: Placid (Amevync)<br />
* Celadon: Solitude (Elerelle)<br />
* Lime: Derelik (Joas)<br />
* Malachite: Aridia (Fabai)<br />
* Azure: Molden Heath (Tartatven)<br />
* Vermillion: Heimatar (Hed)<br />
<br />
Now, these areas don't seem to be special when it comes to gas harvesting. But, each constellation always has a synth booster laboratory, a hacking site which drops synth reactions, among other things.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
=== Cytoserocin ===<br />
<br />
Cytoserocin is used to produce stronger variations of [[Medical boosters|combat boosters]]. It is used in neurolink enhancers' production just like Mykoserocin, but amounts needed for that are much more modest. Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will be concentrated in one constellation of one region, and some regions will never have a cytoserocin nebula appear.<br />
<br />
Majority of Cytoserocin nebulae are unstable. Every time a Gas Cloud Harvester finishes its cycle there is a chance that the cloud will "explode", dealing some damage to your ship. For exact numbers and damage types refer to the table below. There, each row represents an individual possibility. Bear in mind that damage area seems to be defined separately from gas cloud area. Depending on nebula type, damage area center might not coincide with the gas cloud center, and damage radius might be bigger or smaller than the cloud's radius as well.<br />

=== Fullerenes ===<br />
{{main|Wormhole sites#Gas sites|Wormhole gas sites}}<br />
Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3]] and [[Manufacturing#Capital Ship Construction|Capital]] production, and can only be found at sites in wormhole space. It comes in several different flavors of varying value. Fullerite gas sites spawn in all classes of wormhole, but the valuable [[Instrumental Core Reservoir]] and [[Vital Core Reservoir]] will only spawn in C5 and C6 wormholes, or [[shattered wormhole systems|shattered wormholes]] of any class.<br />
<br />
Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time, usually about 15-20 minutes. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers arrive, and then warping away before they can attack. However, the [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] starts with 5 sentry drones, which ''will'' blow up any {{Sh|Venture}} that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.<br />
<br />
Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.<br />

== Harvesting process ==<br />
[[File:Overview_Harvestable_Cloud.jpg|right|Overview Settings]]<br />
Harvesting a gas cloud is very similar to mining an asteroid. Equip the appropriate harvesting module to a ship, locate a gas cloud, approach and target it, and activate the harvesting module. At the end of each module cycle, gas will be deposited into the cargo hold or ore bay. The visual effect of the harvesters is much more subdued than mining lasers, requiring you to zoom the camera very close to the ship to see.<br />
<br />
Make sure you have gas clouds displayed in your overview, as they are not selectable by default. To do this, right click the overview, select open overview settings, select the filter tab, open the celestials folder, and check the Harvestable Clouds box (see screenshot right).<br />
<br />
Gas can be stored in the ore holds of specialized mining and hauling ships even though it is not technically an ore. Units of mykoserocin and cytoserocin are bulkier than individual ore units at 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>, while the various types of fullerite gas range from 1 to 10&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup>. The range of the harvester module is much shorter than a mining laser at only 1.5 km, but the clouds are large and non-collideable.<br />
<br />
== Skills ==<br />
Gas harvesting has very few skills related to it. The primary skill is {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}}, which can be bought for 30M ISK from the specialized NPC vendors, or marked up PC sell orders. This skill is trainable by alpha clones to level II. This skill requires {{sk|Mining|IV}}. You can only use one gas cloud harvester per trained skill level. Note that this is very different from normal mining, where the number of mining lasers is not determined by skills. Getting the skill to 5 allows for Tech 2 harvesters to be used, which have 50% increased yield over Tech 1. Gas Cloud Harvesting should be trained either to 2 (to equip two harvesters on a Venture or Prospect) or 5 (to use T2 harvesters).<br />
<br />
Additionally, Ventures and Prospects decrease their gas harvesting cycle duration with the {{sk|Mining Frigate}} skill. This is the only other skill that increases gas harvesting yield.<br />
<br />
General fitting and tanking skills are also recommended in order to safely fly a well fitted harvesting ship.<br />
<br />
== Equipment ==<br />
To get gas, you need gas cloud scoops/harvesters and a ship to put them on. There are very few real options in fitting a gas harvesting ship. Unlike regular mining, there are no modules or rigs to increase yield. There are no gas equivalents to the Mining Laser Upgrade.<br />
For each level of the {{sk|Gas Cloud Harvesting}} skill you can fit one additional gas cloud scoop/harvester(up to a total of 5 at skill level V); all gas cloud miners have a range of 1.5&nbsp;km<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Gas cloud scoops ===<br />
Gas cloud scoops are placed in the high slots and require a turret hardpoint each. These modules are intended to be used with Mining frigates, but can be fit to any ship that has a turret hardpoint.<br />

=== Gas cloud harvesters ===<br />
Gas cloud harvesters are placed in the high slots. These modules are restricted to be used with Mining Barges and Exhumers.<br />
Harvesters mine a larger amount but with a longer cycle time.<br />

=== Ships ===<br />
While gas cloud scoops can be mounted on any ship with turret slots, only the {{sh|Venture}} and {{sh|Prospect}} have bonuses to their use. A [[Venture]] with two harvesters and {{sk|Mining Frigate|icon=yes}} trained to 4 has the equivalent yield to an unbonused ship with five harvesters. Additionally, it is far more agile than any ship that could fit five harvesters, and has a specialized ore hold for the gas. Thus it is by far the most common ship to use for harvesting gas.<br />
<br />
The [[Prospect]] has the ability to fit a Covert Ops Cloaking Device, giving it more safety in the hostile environments in which the more valuable forms of gas are found. It also has a larger ore hold for the gas, and a larger regular cargo hold allowing for a mobile depot to be carried. However, it harvests at the same rate as an equivalently skilled Venture, and is considerably more expensive.<br />
<br />
== Implants ==<br />
{{main|Skill Hardwiring}}<br />
The [[Skill Hardwiring#Slot 8|Eifyr and Co. 'Alchemist' Gas Harvesting]] is the only implant range which affects gas harvesting. It reduces gas harvester cycle time, and is available in 1%, 3%, and 5% varieties. They are sold in most LP stores.<br />
<br />
== Gas value ==<br />
Gas does not have to be refined in order to use it, as ore and ice products do. It can be used in Tech III production by turning it into a polymer using a Standup Hybrid Reactor I (see {{Section link|Tech 3 Production|Hybrid Polymer Reactions}}). The difference in value between gasses can be extreme, due to the scarcity of the gas and the value of the end products. While C320/540 is highly valuable, the risk versus reward is often too high for beginners. Many find that a more manageable target is to harvest C50 as the risk is low and the reward is decent. Harvesting C320/540 will normally require several people working together, which usually means using haulers and a dedicated scout.<br />
