Volcanic Gas Vents on Planets for H2

I want to suggest Volcanic Gas Vents on planets that emit H2 which can be collected (rather slowly inefficiently) with Air Vents and far more effective by capping them with a Hydrogen Extractor block that only works as a base (just like windmills) and is big grid only.


Such vents do exist in real life just that they emit methane instead of hydrogen, but methane is CH4 anyway and can be burned in an engine just as easily so I see no reason for a distinction in the game. They would fit Pertam particularly well and could replace the ice patches (which don’t really make sense on a desert world). Giving us “oil rigs” to fight over in the wasteland mad max style.

It would also really encourage actually using hydrogen engines for power which seems to be the whole theme of the wasteland update but doesn’t work because its just to inefficient to use, with ice processed in H2/O2 generators as the only source for H2.
