Gas selling should have diminishing returns

Heā€™s an admin he only observes, it would be too easy.

So has anyone come up with an actual formula or no?

let cargo have fun, please

eh, I mean having a infintie money glitch probably should be patched

Thatā€™s a quite complex issue that that goes as deep as basics of how power, piping and atmos on lavaland work.
We canā€™t really make gases from lavaland not refill cause that would be straight up stupid if you could suck all gases and create vacuum on whole planet.
We canā€™t make selling gases as unprofitable to discourage their creation and collection at all.
Power is so utterly unbalanced it breaks any laws of physics and clearly nobody wants to touch it.

Donā€™t think we can expect to get that fixed since issues go so deep and would affect everything else but there are small tweaks that could help a bit:

-Get rid of infinite power in aux base, it was actually bothering me ever since I saw it for the first time. While I get why it is the case when it comes to shuttles I donā€™t see the point of it in aux base. Its already a great advantage that you can build a small base while not leaving safety of station and then land it wherever you want. Let people pop an APC and SMES with some charge via that building console, they got something to start but they need to figure out the power (which encourage cooperation between departments, solars donā€™t work on lavaland, you need something more complex)

-Scrubbers and vents that are not in enclosed area, within walls, should be getting clogged and would require checking on them and cleaning them on regular basis (either get them clogged during storm or just at random)

-Make a new ventcrawling creature that would spawn near vents and scrubbers that would both harass crewmembers trying to maintain the setup and would add risk of brining that creature on station (especially if we could make it crawl/lay eggs inside canisters that are currently connected to pipes and make them bust them from inside-they could be then taken on board by crew, break canister to both get free and release its gas content)

Make it so scrubbers are inefficient at scrubbing BZ and end up scrubbing a fuckton of other gasses reducing profits
