Gas cloud harvesting: Difference between revisions

'''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. It is accomplished by locating a nebula in known space or a [[Wormhole Gas ~~Sites~~|fullerite reservoir]] in wormhole space, and collecting it with a gas cloud harvester module.

==Types of gas==

The three types of gas are both found in [[cosmic signatures]] which need to be [[Probe scanning|probe scanned]] down in order to harvest.

===Fullerenes===

Fullerenes are used in [[Tech 3 Production|Tech 3 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.

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 [[Venture]] that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.

Most fullerenes are very profitable, though dangerous to harvest.

== Gas value ==

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 [[Tech 3 Production#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.
