This weeks’ experimental update brings you a feature of a nebulous nature. As intangible as air, yet vital for advanced ship construction!
Introducing Nebula gas clouds and the new ramscoop.
The ramscoop will be used to harvest new resources that you will find out in the galaxy! These new resources spawn in the form of gas clouds that you can harvest with the new ramscoop.
These gases come in three primary variants; Calireon (red), Fulgurium (blue), and Acidium (green), and can be mixed to create various colors. Some of these color variations correspond with new and even rarer resources such as the new Vectron Gas.
Using the ramscoop you will be able to both suck in and release gas and thus change the composition of these gas clouds, which will let you harvest small amounts of these special resources. These new resources will be used in high tier devices such as the Strip miner and Drone bay as well as more devices that will be introduced at a later stage in the game.
