Methane is a resource.

Summary[]

Methane (CH4) is a resource and one of the Compressed Atmospheric Gas earth elements.

Game description[]

An atmospheric gas found in hostile conditions of gas giants.

Methane is readily harvested from equipment deployed on gas worlds.

Source[]

From Atmosphere Harvesters built on gas planets or the Stellar Extractor Room.

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

Nitrogen ×3 + Sulphurine ×3 + Radon ×3 → Methane ×1 ("Organic Fusion", 0.16 sec./unit output)

Use[]

Crafting[]

Methane is used as an ingredient for crafting the following products:

Mounted Flamethrower -- Phosphorus x50 + Basalt x50 + Methane x90 → Mounted Flamethrower
