Carbon is a resource.

Summary[]

Carbon (C) is a resource used in recharging and one of the fuel elements for refining.

Game description[]

The building block of all organic life. Of critical importance to space travellers, as Carbon is used to recharge mining equipment.

The Mining Laser will harvest Carbon from trees, plants, and all other forms of vegetable.

Source[]

Can be mined from flora.
Can be found as a secondary element in some minerals.
Can be farmed by constructing a Standing Planter in a base.
Can be harvested from the walls of agricultural type freighter base building modules, such as the Biological Room (Expansion).

Carbon can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

Cactus Flesh ×1 → Carbon ×2 ("Burn Plantlife", 0.12 sec./unit output)
Condensed Carbon ×1 → Carbon ×2 ("Release Carbon", 0.12 sec./unit output)
Gamma Root ×1 → Carbon ×2 ("Burn Plantlife", 0.12 sec./unit output)
Fungal Mould ×1 → Carbon ×2 ("Burn Plantlife", 0.12 sec./unit output)
Oxygen ×1 → Carbon ×1 ("Inefficient Burn", 0.08 sec./unit output)
Solanium ×1 → Carbon ×2 ("Burn Plantlife", 0.12 sec./unit output)
Star Bulb ×1 → Carbon ×2 ("Burn Plantlife", 0.12 sec./unit output)

Exploit[]

Once the player has a Portable Refiner and Medium Refiner/Large Refiner, they can produce Carbon and Condensed Carbon for free.

This can also be done with only a Portable Refiner, but with less yield.

Refine 68 Carbon in Medium Refiner/Large Refiner to produce 34 Condensed Carbon.
Place down the Portable Refiner and recharge its Fuel Inverter with the 34 Condensed Carbon.
Pick up the Portable Refiner to receive 100 Carbon.
Repeat steps 1 to 3, to produce 32 Carbon per cycle.

Exploit 2[]

Get a Freighter (you get a free one from the story; they're all the same inside excluding the one page of inventory.)
Place as many Standing Planters as you want in your freighter. Requires two Metal Plating and 25 Condensed Carbon per planter. (They refresh with new carbon every time your freighter base loads.)
Walk into the base area of your freighter and collect carbon. One planter yields 62-120 Carbon.
Walk into the hanger area hallway and immediately turn around to go back into the base area.
Repeat steps 3-4. All the Carbon will be refreshed letting you harvest it again in seconds.

Exploit 3[]

Place a Standing Planter in your base or freighter.
Harvest the carbon from the planter - yields 62-120 Carbon.
Open the edit base menu and move the planter.
The planter will be refreshed. Repeat steps 2-4.
