Siphon Station

An orbital station that can pull volatiles into space by manipulating the magnetosphere of a nearby gas giant. The amount of volatiles the station can harvest is proportional to how abundant they are on the gas giant itself.

Construction cost: 500,000¢,Crew 1000,Heavy machinery 250,Metals 1000,Transplutonics 250
Notes:
  • Constructs a siphon station in low orbit around a gas giant.
    • Has volatiles deposits equal to the gas giant's own volatiles level. (this link can be disabled via LunaLib settings, replacing it with a static deposit amount)
    • Only one siphon station can orbit each gas giant. The station can only be placed around neutral or player-owned gas giants.
    • Cannot be placed if a moon orbits too close to the gas giant, or if the gas giant has four or more moons.
    • The station sprite changes as the colony grows larger.
