How to Get Nitrogen Gas in Satisfactory 1.0

Some of the most satisfying moments when playing Satisfactory is geting a technology upgrade where you can double or triple the input from any raw resource node. In other cases, you find resource wells that give you way more additional resources. Unlocking this feature also brings a new resource to your tech tree, Nitrogen Gas. Here’s how you can extract Nitrogen Gas nodes or any resource from any resource well in Satisfactory 1.0.

How to Extract Nitrogen Gas in Satisfactory 1.0

To unlock Nitrogen Gas, you must reach tier 8 – Advanced Aluminum Production. The milestone or tier allows you to scan Nitrogen Gas nodes and unlock the Resource Well Pressurizer and Resource Well Extractor production buildings, among other things. To extract a Nitrogen Gas node, you’ll need to build a Resource Well Pressurizer on the resource well.

A Resource Well Pressurizer needs the following materials:

• 200× Wire
• 50× Rubber
• 50× Encased Industrial Beam
• 50× Motor

If you don’t have these products at a high output rate, you should improve them as soon as possible.

Once you have found the Nitrogen Gas resource well using the resource scanner, place the Resource Well Pressurizer on it and connect it to power. It’ll start extracting the resources, but you must build the Resource Well Extractors on each of the tiny wells circling the pressurizer. Each tiny well can be treated like a raw resource node with a Miner on it. Nitrogen Gas resource wells have at least seven wells you can extract.

Each well may have impure, normal, or pure nodes with the following output rates of 30, 60, and 120, respectively. In a way, you may have upwards of 900 cubic meters of Nitrogen Gas per minute if you are able to combine all these resource wells together, but that is way too much to play around with when you are still starting at tier 8.

Place some Resource Well Extractors on each well based on the amount of Nitrogen Gas needed per minute. You don’t have to connect these extractors to a power source, but you should build pipelines on them and connect them to a production building.

What Are Nitrogen Gas Used For in Satisfactory?

Nitrogen Gas is mostly used for producing Cooling Systems, Fused Modular Frames, and Nitric Acid (possibly for Plutonium power in the future).

However, the struggle is bringing the Nitrogen Gas to your desired production location. Since Nitrogen Gas isn’t as abundant as the other resources, you might have difficulty going to one node and getting all the other resources needed for your planned project.

For example, if you want to produce Fused Modular Frames, you need Aluminum Casing, Heavy Modular Frames, and Nitrogen Gas. Aluminum Casing needs at least Bauxite, Water, Coal, and Quartz. Heavy Modular Frames probably need a pure Iron Ore node overclocked.

There are many requirements, and the biggest challenge will be combining resources like Nitrogen Gas along with these other resources.

One way to solve this problem is to completely package the Nitrogen Gas at its source and unpackage it elsewhere. You can always sink the packaging after getting the Nitrogen Gas in liquid form. Packaging saves a lot of time going from one place to another. Even when you can fly around areas, it’ll still be a nuisance to come back and forth and bring production lines or resource lines together. You can eventually automate transportation using drones in the future, too.
