This is a proposal to overhaul the gas economy with the ARC, AIR budget, priced gases from finite extractors - making gases a real budgeted resource instead of free/infinite. Miners still pump out gas, but it costs per mole via the ARC, pushing players to cut waste and make basic air gases in-house by utilizing electrolyzers and recyclers.
