	'''Gas Giants''' are a type of planets in ~~the~~ ~~game~~. ~~Gas~~ ~~Giants~~ ~~frequently~~ ~~have~~ ~~one~~ or ~~more~~ ~~planets~~ in ~~orbit~~ ~~around~~ ~~them,~~ an ~~example~~ being ~~the~~ ~~starting~~ ~~world.~~ ~~Since~~ ~~Gas~~ ~~Giants~~ ~~have~~ no ~~physical~~ ~~surface,~~ [[Icarus]] ~~cannot~~ ~~land~~ on ~~them;~~ ~~instead~~, it ~~simply~~ ~~floats~~ ~~above~~ ~~the~~ ~~cloud~~ ~~layer.~~		'''Gas Giants''' are a type of [[Stars and planets#Types of planets\|planet]] in Dyson Sphere Program. They are (as the name suggests) giant worlds with no solid landmasses on their surface, instead being composed almost entirely of gases, primarily [[Hydrogen\|hydrogen]] and [[Deuterium\|its isotopes]]. If [[Icarus]] flies onto a gas giant, it will not be able to land, and will be forced to fly around.

	Icarus can manually collect resources from a Gas Giant, but [[Orbital Collector]]s can gather them automatically.

			The aforementioned gaseous resources -- hydrogen, deuterium, and [[Fire Ice\|fire ice]] in the case of ice giants -- can be collected by [[Orbital Collector\|Orbital Collectors]] (placed on the planet's equator), or manually, by Icarus.

A maximum of 40 Orbital Collectors may be placed on a Gas Giant's equator (where the latitude is 0 degrees, marked by a thicker green line in construction mode).

A gas giant is one of the types of planets in the game. Gas Giants cannot be landed upon, as they have no surface. You will, however, float just above the cloud layer.

Gas Giants provide resources in the form of gas, and many different types of gases are available. When viewed from the solar system, the Gas Giant's details will show the gases it produces. Do not be alarmed by the very low rate show - this rate is per [[Orbit Collector]] installed, so you can increase the rate by placing more Orbit Collectors.

Orbit Collectors may only be placed on the Equator of the Gas giant (where the North/South Latitude = 0. It is marked by a thicker green line in construction mode), so the maximum limit of throughput of gas from a Gas Giant is dependent upon how many orbit collectors can be placed around the equator.

Note that when Orbit Collectors are in use, they power themselves by burning off some of the gas they draw in, so your throughput will differ from what the solar system screen shows.
