Mineral/Gas Extractor and Supply Depot?

[Polraudio]

Does anyone know how these items work? The mineral extractor always says theres no mineral deposit despite being directly on top of some copper or salt deposits and yes it is powered with more than enough power.

When it comes to balance, I think resource extractors are fairly well done once they fix the Sulphurine extraction. Considering the only other way to farm gas was to use the atmosphere harvesters; limited to three per planet and storing a max of 250 gas, and having to be refueled constantly, the logistics of finding a power hotspot adjacent to a gas site is a fine one time cost.
I like to put the base computer halfway between the two sites, and at that spot have a portal, battery, and the depots, and the cables run from the two spots to this site.

I can get gobs of power, but cant get that power where it's needed at the next hotspot 670u+ away where there's a fat O2 hotspot, or the 2 mineral nodes that are also 700u+ away in different directions. Solar gets ya 25 kP, ya need 32 of them to power a gas harvester..My lil power experiment is generating 11,000 kP and storing 1.4 Million, A little over the top, but I panicked when I saw how much power the resource collector wanted..

Solar panels should generate up to 50 kP if they're properly placed and you should be using them to supply a battery farm, which then powers your base.

as an annoying workaround for the sulpherine issue im gonna have to make a second nitrogen harvesting base and put it in a refiner with 02 form my s class "o2 mine" lol why s class o2 cause thats just my luck thats what id find for s class gas

I found a S class Radon source and with 2 extracters it produces 2000/hr. I had to place 10 mineral extracters on a activated indium C to get that.

Yea S class is amazing. Wait till you find an S class Activated Indium deposit. Every 3 hours im making 40m now. I could be making a lot more but its hard to work on a planet that drains your protection in like 2min.

Does a gas harvester really require that much power? My mineral harvester runs fine on a single solar panel during the local day (50kP).

My resource silos don't work either (they store power and not resources?)
I have both a mineral and gas extractor but they don't fill up the silos (both on seperate silos/pipes).
As mentioned above the silo tells me the pipeline has reached it's limit whatever that means.

How far away is it? From my understanding you cant go across bases with it(like from one base to another).

I only have 1 base on that planet and it's directly connected (without placing additional objects to extend the base range of buiilding)

And you didn't have any trouble running the pipeline from the extractor to the silo? I had a weird problem the first time I built mine and I had to delete all the pipe and lay it down again. And make sure you start the pipe from the extractor, not from the silo. It shouldn't matter, but it seems a little buggy still.

2 days ago the mineral extractor did work but after i built the gas extractor it stopped working.
Think i'll just have to wait untill they patch it

Where do you find Nitrogen and Radon gas deposits?? All I seem to be able to find is Oxygen :/

[Edric ABRAXUS]

I found Radon on icy planet :) ....but got buggy extractor too ....

[mr.grey]

i placed a gas miner, a depot, batterie and two solar panels, powered silo since i hadn't read it's not required.

the silo is showing full, with _50_ units sulphurine.

i miss something?

Sulphurine takes a lot more space than Radon and Nitrogen. Haven't seen Oxygen yet.
