| ==Summary==
| |
| Generates [[Hydrogen]] and [[Deuterium]] when placed on the equator of a [[Gas Giant]], or Hydrogen and [[Fire Ice]] on the equator of an [[Gas Giant#Ice Giant|Ice Giant]].
| |
|
| |
|
| The resource collection rate depends on the yield of the giant and the gathering speed of the [[Orbital Collector]]. The default gathering speed is 8. The gathering speed can be increased with the [[Veins_Utilization_(Upgrade)| Veins Utilization]] upgrade. The collection rate is calulated as yield * gathering speed.
| |
|
| |
| However, some of the collected resources will be used to power the [[Orbital Collector]], which drastically lowers how much resources are actually usable.
| |
| Both resources will be used to fuel the [[Orbital Collector]], regardless of how much is stored of each resource.
| |
| The resources are used proportionally to how much is collected per second, and how much energy is generated by burning the resource.
| |
|
| |
| For example: A giant has a yield of 0.5 fireice/s and 0.25 hydrogen/s. The actual resource yield can be calculated like this:
| |
|
| |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| ! Collection rate !! Power value !! % of total power collected !! Power diverted to Orbital Collector !! Resources remaining
| |
| |-
| |
| | 0.5 fireice/s * 8 = '''4.5 fireice/s'''
| |
| | 4.8 MJ/fireice * 4 fireice/s = '''19.2 MW'''
| |
| | style="text-align:center"| '''52%'''
| |
| | 0.52 * 30MW = '''15.4 MW'''
| |
| | (19.2 MW - 15.4 MW) / 4.8 MJ/fireice = '''0.77 fireice/s'''
| |
| |-
| |
| | 0.25 hydrogen/s * 8 = '''2 hydrogen/s '''
| |
| | 9 MJ/hydrogen * 2 hydrogen/s = '''18 MW'''
| |
| | style="text-align:center"| '''48%'''
| |
| | 0.48 * 30MW = '''14.5 MW'''
| |
| | (18 MW - 14.5 MW) / 9 MJ/hydrogen = '''0.39 hydrogen/s'''
| |
| |}
| |
|
| |
| With the default gathering speed, most of the resources are lost to power the [[Orbital Collector]]. Researching higher levels of the [[Veins_Utilization_(Upgrade)| Veins Utilization]] is important to get good yields, as this increases the gathering speed of the [[Orbital Collector]] while keeping the power consumption the same.

| ==Player Tips & Tricks==
| |
| It is possible to place more than one collector on a [[Gas Giant]], although there is a minimum distance between collectors required. Placing them at the minimal possible distance will let you place a maximum of 40 collectors.
| |
|
| |
| In order to export products from an orbital collector, set to the collector to "remote supply." Then on the planet where you wish to receive the collected products, set up an [[Interstellar Logistics Station]] with fire ice, hydrogen, and/or deuterium set to "remote demand."
