Collect Gas for a Production Need
Matching a planet to the gas it offers lets you collect a specific condenser output for later production.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Collect Gas for a Production Need
An Atmospheric Condenser on a planet that lists the gas you need, followed by storage at your production base.
Before you go
- Atmospheric Condenser and power connection.
- Empty gas canister or canisters.
- A target gas confirmed in the local condenser choices.
- Transport and storage for filled canisters.
Farming steps
- Choose the gas required by the production task you are preparing for.
- Travel to a planet whose atmosphere can provide that gas and establish a safe work area.
- Place and power the Atmospheric Condenser, then inspect its available choices.
- Select the target gas and load an empty canister into the collection setup.
- Collect the canister once filled and keep its gas identity clear in storage.
- Return the canister to the production area using a safe oxygen and transport route.
- Load the gas where your planned chemistry or production chain calls for it.
- Confirm local availability before setting out; Atrox offers the broadest listed set, while Desolo has none.
- Collect only enough canisters for the next known production task to keep transport manageable.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the condenser collection for additional canisters when a production task needs more gas. The process can be repeated while power and canisters are available, but the target gas must be locally listed.
Common mistakes
- Picking a planet by habit without checking gas availability: confirm the target appears in the local menu.
- Bringing filled canisters back without tracking their contents: store them clearly by gas type.
- Treating collected gas as the completed recipe output: move it into the intended production chain as an input.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have the gas quantity required for the current production task. Switch to another planet if the target is not offered by the condenser where you are.
