In Satisfactory, you may discover resource wells that yield significantly more additional resources. Unlocking this feature introduces a new element to your tech tree: Nitrogen Gas. This guide explains how to extract Nitrogen Gas nodes or any resources from resource wells in Satisfactory 1.0.
How to Extract Nitrogen Gas in Satisfactory 1.0
To unlock Nitrogen Gas, you need to reach tier 8 – Advanced Aluminum Production. This milestone allows you to scan for Nitrogen Gas nodes and grants access to the Resource Well Pressurizer and Resource Well Extractor buildings, among others. To extract from a Nitrogen Gas node, construct a Resource Well Pressurizer atop the resource well.
The Resource Well Pressurizer requires the following materials:
- 200× Wire
- 50× Rubber
- 50× Encased Industrial Beam
- 50× Motor
If you lack these components in sufficient quantities, prioritize enhancing your production rates.
After locating the Nitrogen Gas resource well with your resource scanner, position the Resource Well Pressurizer on it and connect it to a power source. The pressurizer will begin resource extraction, but you must then install Resource Well Extractors on each of the smaller wells surrounding the pressurizer. Each small well operates like a raw resource node equipped with a Miner Mk. A Nitrogen Gas resource well typically has at least seven wells available for extraction.
Each well may contain impure, normal, or pure nodes with output rates of 30, 60, and 120, respectively. Thus, you could potentially achieve an output of up to 900 cubic meters of Nitrogen Gas per minute by combining all the resource wells, although managing such a volume can be overwhelming when starting at tier 8.
Install multiple Resource Well Extractors on each well according to your required Nitrogen Gas output per minute. These extractors do not need a direct power connection, but it is essential to build pipelines to transport the gas to a production facility.
What Is Nitrogen Gas Used For in Satisfactory?
Nitrogen Gas is primarily utilized for manufacturing Cooling Systems, Fused Modular Frames, and Nitric Acid (which could potentially be used for Plutonium generation in future updates).
However, the challenge lies in transporting Nitrogen Gas to your production site. Given that Nitrogen Gas is less plentiful compared to other resources, you may encounter difficulty sourcing all the other required materials for your project from a single node.
For instance, if you intend to produce Fused Modular Frames, you will need Aluminum Casing, Heavy Modular Frames, and Nitrogen Gas. Aluminum Casing requires Bauxite, Water, Coal, and Quartz, while Heavy Modular Frames likely necessitate an overclocked pure Iron Ore node.
With numerous prerequisites to fulfill, logistical challenges will arise in moving liquids like Nitrogen Gas alongside other materials.
One effective solution is to package the Nitrogen Gas at the source and unpackage it at your production site. You can always sink the packaged gas once converted to a liquid form. This packaging method streamlines transportation, reducing the hassle of repeatedly traveling and combining resource lines. Additionally, you can later automate transport using drones for increased efficiency.
