Atmosphere harvester

[ŁōãF]

Worth it?

This thing combined with the medium/large refiner, can you do any cool things to earn money or make life easier?

I don't think they are worth using for a few reasons: you can only harvest one gas on each planet type, industrial applications need a lot of gas so that means many harvesters needed, and finally it is sold for cheap in bulk quantities in rich systems.

Each production cycle I run at my stasis device farm I buy 4k each of radon, nitrogen, and sulpurine at opulent systems and it only costs about 300k total, if I were to harvest that ammount myself I'd have to have bases on 3 different worlds and 48 atmosphere harvesters. So they just aren't worth the effort since gas is so easy to buy.

Could you describe how you use farms to make a lot of money? What's the final product you make?

My atmospheric harvester does not give me oxygen.

Totally worthy, place oxygen harvester, you can get carbon in the refiner and you will use lot of oxygen as catalist.

And atmospheric harvesters (3 per planet), the gasses will be very important for high tier crafting.

There are two different kind of harvesters, one gets oxygen and the other the specific gas of the planet.

I have the problem that the output slot and fuel gets reset everytime when you teleport away and back during operstion of the harvester.
That makes is quite worthless for me..

+1 this is what is happening to me
I fill it go away come back and its empty yet if i stay in the open window it will carry on and produce.

Game is bugged to hell.

It's worth for me, all those autonomous items are your $$ making if you can plan it nicely. You can let it produced all your necessary material for you journey.

Two different? Ive only one for a Planet specific Gas.

Remeber that u can convert the Gas with oxide (more efficient) in the other two Gas Versions Black Goat.

you get the oxgen harvester blueprint from the base archive missions

I seem to have completed most missions but not yet the oxygen harvester.

This happens intermittently to me, I reckon about a third of the time. It's another argument for buying the gas but I set up four outposts because I want to make the stasis devices without buying in any products. As with the broken atmosphere harvesters in v1.38, that's nigh on impossible.
