The Sorium Harvester is a ship-mounted component used to harvest Sorium from gas giants and refine it into fuel, functioning similarly to an Asteroid Miner.

Fuel harvesting

A fuel harvester needs at least one sorium harvesting module. Once stationed at a pre-surveyed Gas Giant with Sorium, it will automatically start harvesting at base rate of 20,000 litres/year per module, upgradable via research. Each harvester modules consume 1 ton of Sorium per 2000 liters refined. This conversion rate does not change with additional research.

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.
