Gas cloud harvesting: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

'''Gas cloud mining''' is the process of collecting gas from interstellar clouds, for use in [[Messing With Your Head#Better living through chemistry: Intro to booster drugs|medical booster]] and [[Tech 3 Production|Tech III]] production. It is accomplished by finding a [[Scanning:Scan Results#Gas Sites (Known Space)|nebula]] in known space or a [[Wormhole Gas Sites|fullerite reservoir]] in wormhole space, and mining it with a gas cloud harvester module.

==~~Location~~==

==Types of gas and where to find them==

The two types of gas are both found in [[cosmic signatures]] which need to be scanned down in order to use.

*Gas ~~clouds~~ are found ~~inside [[wormholes]]~~ and ~~known Space~~ in low ~~sec~~ and null ~~sec~~. ~~They~~ are ~~only found very rarely~~ in high sec and ~~then only via [[Exploration]] or level 4 mining missions~~.

===Mykoserocin and cytoserocin nebulae===

*Unlike most exploration sites, ~~gas clouds~~ are not randomly distributed throughout the ~~universe~~.

*They are ~~located~~ in ~~specific regions~~ and ~~places~~. ~~See~~ [[~~Scanning:Scan_Results#Gas_Sites|Exploration sites : Gas~~]] ~~for some specific locations~~.

Mykoserocin and cytoserocin, which are used to produce booster drugs, are found in nebulas in known space. Mykoserocin, which is used to make the milder, legal, and less profitable Synth boosters, are found in high and low security space, while cytoserocin, which can make the more effective but illegal forms of boosters, is found in low and null security space. Nebulae are rare in high sec, and more common in low and null sec. Mytoserocin and cytoserocin are further broken down into seven "flavors", each which produces a different effect in the booster they create.

*For wormhole ~~specific~~ gas ~~mining see~~ [[~~Gas in W-space~~]]

Unlike most exploration sites, nebulae are not randomly distributed throughout space. Each flavor of gas will only spawn in one region, and some regions will never have a gas site appear. Additionally, within the gas type's region, there is one 'hot spot' constellation where at least one site will always be present.

Gas clouds might be found in level 4 mining missions, as well. ''(need confirmation)''

===Fullerite reservoirs===

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.

Most fullerene sites are empty when first warped to, but will spawn several Sleepers after a certain amount of time. Thus, it is possible to "ninja harvest" wormhole gas sites by harvesting gas until the sleepers, and then warping away before they blow you up. However, [[Ordinary Perimeter Reservoir]] start with 5 sentry drones, which WILL blow up any Venture that warps there, and should be avoided until they are cleared.
