Used to refine Sorium into fuel from Sorium gas giants, this ship-mounted compnent works similarly to an Asteroid Miner. The base rate is 20,000 litres/year/harvester module, upgradable via research. Harvester modules consume 1 ton of Sorium per 2000 litres refined. This conversion rate does not change with additional research.
To use a Sorium Harvester, you simply need to station the relevant ships at a pre-surveyed Gas Giant. The Refined fuel cannot be transported via Mass Driver, so you will either need to manually assign a Tanker to the taskgroup and continually shift the fuel over to the tanker and then back to your colony, or send the Sorium Harvesters with only fraction of their normal fuel (say, 10%) with a conditional order to unload the fuel when they reach maximum capacity.
