Planetary Gas Siphon
Introduction
The Plantery gas siphon is a multiblock pump that harvests gases from gas planets. To do so it needs to be installed on a space station orbiting one of the supported gas planets, see usage to see which planet yields what gas.
Usage
Following gases can be extracted from each gas planet:
Jupiter (Tier 3)
- 1 Hydrogen - 15.000 L/s
- 2 Helium - 500 L/s
- 3 Nitrogen - 300 L/s
- 4 Oxygen - 200 L/s
Saturn (Tier 5)
- 1 Hydrogen - 18.000 L/s
- 2 Helium - 800 L/s
- 3 Oxygen - 500 L/s
- 4 Liquid Oxygen - 150 L/s
Uranus (Tier 5)
- 1 Deuterium - 5.000 L/s
- 2 Neon - 450 L/s
- 3 Argon - 250 L/s
- 4 Krypton - 100 L/s
Neptune (Tier 6)
- 1 Tritium - 3.000 L /s
- 2 Helium-3 - 500 L/s
- 3 Ammonia - 400 L/s
- 4 Xenon - 350 L/s
After you have installed the siphon on a space station orbiting a compatible gas planet, you need to input a circuit to select which of the available gasses should be pumped. In addition you need to supply it with 64 * depth (depth is the circuit number) Mining Pipes. It will consume depth * 4^(t+2) EU/t where t is the tier of the space station. The siphon can be overclocked to increase the output.
