Summary

A Gas Giant is one of the types of planets in the game. They frequently have one or more planets in orbit around them, an example being the starting world. Gas Giants cannot be landed upon, as they have no surface. You will, however, float just above the cloud layer.

Resources may be harvested from a Gas Giant by Orbital Collectors.

Production

A maximum of 40 collectors may be placed on the equator of a Gas Giant(where the North/South Latitude = 0. It is marked by a thicker green line in construction mode). Each will produce resources at the rate listed on the planet information seen in the starmap.

Some of these resources will be consumed to power the collector, see the Orbital Collector page for details.

There are two types of Gas Giant.

Gas Giant

Provides Hydrogen collection and a slower rate of Deuterium collection.

Ice Giant

Typically produces Hydrogen at a lower rate but also produces Fire Ice.

Production Upgrades

Each level of the Veins Utilization upgrade increases the collecting rate by a flat 10%.

Player Tips & Tricks

Due to the large distance between where Orbital Collectors can be placed, construction drones can lag far behind if flying to place multiple collectors without waiting for each to be constructed.
As with resource quantities on planets, the typical production rate of Gas Giants is higher for those found in systems further from the starting system, scaling as distance increases.

+==Summary==

-A gas giant is one of the types of planets in the game. Gas Giants cannot be landed upon, as they have no surface. You will, however, float just above the cloud layer.
+Resources may be harvested from a Gas Giant by [[Orbital Collector]]s.
-Gas Giants provide resources in the form of gas, and many different types of gases are available. When viewed from the solar system, the Gas Giant's details will show the gases it produces. Do not be alarmed by the very low rate show - this rate is per [[Orbital Collector]] installed, so you can increase the rate by placing more Orbital Collectors.
+==Production==
+A maximum of 40 collectors may be placed on the equator of a Gas Giant(where the North/South Latitude = 0. It is marked by a thicker green line in construction mode). Each will produce resources at the rate listed on the planet information seen in the starmap.
-Orbital Collectors may only be placed on the Equator of the Gas giant (where the North/South Latitude = 0. It is marked by a thicker green line in construction mode), so the maximum limit of throughput of gas from a Gas Giant is dependent upon how many orbit collectors can be placed around the equator.
+Some of these resources will be consumed to power the collector, see the [[Orbital Collector]] page for details.
-Note that when Orbital Collectors are in use, they power themselves by burning off some of the gas they draw in, so your throughput will differ from what the solar system screen shows.
