Gas Collection.

[Xadhoom]

with the added different geysers and fumaroles, and their cycles in next upgrade, i feel we need to be able to better utilize all available resources. but building pumps to collect it in every location would be very work intensive. 

so my suggestion is a portable compressor. build it in some vehicle  or machine workbench, transport it to location, let it suck up all gases there, take it back to some emptying station where you then let the gases get extracted. then you have to make sure you filter them normally.

I think that requires much more work and micromanagement than building a gas pump, a wire, and a pipe, and leaving them there forever. I mean, you only do all that once while with the portable scooper you'd need to care about it every time you want to collect some gas.

What I would welcome would be a gas bottler (pipe->bottles) and gas bottle emptier (bottles->pipe). That would save me the need to build a lengthy pipe every time I need to transfer a little bit of gas from point A to point B.
