Nitrogen Gas: Locations, Pure Nodes & Recipes

Satisfactory Nitrogen Gas Guide: All Locations, Crafting Recipes, & More

Update 4 introduced Nitrogen Gas as one of the valuable resources Pioneers can farm in Satisfactory. This late-game material is essential for advanced crafting recipes including Fused Modular Frames, Cooling Systems, and Nitric Acid. This comprehensive guide covers all Pure Node locations, crafting recipes, and optimal farming strategies for your factory.

1. Nitrogen Gas Overview

A valuable late-game resource used in Tier 8 and 9 production chains. Pioneers must use Resource Well Extractors to harvest this fluid resource.

2. Pure Node Priority

Always target Pure nodes when possible. Pure nodes produce 120 m³/min at 100% efficiency or 300 m³/min when overclocked at 250%, dramatically improving your production efficiency.

3. Extraction Strategy

Set up bases in key biomes like Spire Coast and Rocky Desert for convenient Nitrogen Gas farming, storage, and processing operations.

Why Nitrogen Gas Matters

Nitrogen Gas becomes critical once you reach Tier 8: Aluminum Production. It's used in:

  • Cooling Systems: Essential for high-end electronic manufacturing
  • Fused Modular Frames: Core component for advanced construction
  • Nitric Acid: Used in chemical processing chains
  • Nitro Rocket Fuel: Alternate recipe for efficient rocket production

Nitrogen Gas Locations in Satisfactory 1.0

Pioneers must use Resource Well Extractors when farming Nitrogen Gas in Satisfactory. Always aim to collect this resource from Pure nodes for maximum efficiency. With a Pure node overclocked at 250%, you can farm 300 m³/min of Nitrogen Gas.

Best Farming Biomes

The best farming spots for Nitrogen Gas in Satisfactory are nodes found in the Spire Coast, Rocky Desert, Dangle Spires, and Eastern Dune Forest biomes. Set up a base in these biomes to conveniently gather, store, and process Nitrogen Gas.

Impure Nitrogen Gas Nodes

Impure nodes provide lower output rates and are best avoided unless Pure or Normal nodes are unavailable:

  • Node #1: Coordinates: 214,660, 137,994 / Altitude: -2m
  • Node #2: Coordinates: 213,449, 132,707 / Altitude: -3m

Normal Nitrogen Gas Nodes

Normal nodes provide standard output and are suitable for mid-game production:

  • Node #1: Coordinates: 125,099, 254,321 / Altitude: 2m
  • Node #2: Coordinates: 126,664, 253,042 / Altitude: -4m
  • Node #3: Coordinates: 218,041, 134,223 / Altitude: -2m

Nitrogen Gas Production Strategy

Extractor Setup

Optimal configuration for Resource Well Extractors:

  • Pure Nodes: Overclock to 200-250% for maximum throughput
  • Normal Nodes: Overclock to 150-200% for balanced production
  • Power Requirements: Resource Well Mk.3 extractors require 30 MW base power
  • Water Source: Not required (Nitrogen is extracted from atmosphere)

Pipeline Design

  • Industrial Pipes: Use Industrial Pipes for long-distance transport (300 m³/min capacity)
  • Pipe Pumps: Install pumps every 5-8 pipes to maintain flow
  • Buffer Storage: Add Industrial Fluid Buffers before Blenders
  • Header Management: Use manifolds for multi-extractor setups

Production Balancing

  • Blender Count: Calculate required Blenders based on final product demand
  • Nitrogen Ratio: Each Cooling System requires 25 Nitrogen Gas/min
  • Modular Frames: Each requires 25 Nitrogen Gas/min
  • Nitric Acid: Each batch uses 12 Nitrogen Gas
  • Buffer Sizing: Maintain 500-1000 Nitrogen Gas buffer for stable production

Advanced Nitrogen Management

Matter Conversion (Tier 9)

If Nitrogen Gas becomes scarce, Tier 9 Converter provides alternative production:

Nitrogen Gas from Bauxite

  • Unlocking Requirements: Tier 9 – Matter Conversion
  • Building: Converter
  • Ingredients: 1x Reanimated SAM and 12x Caterium Ore
  • Output: 600x Nitrogen Gas
  • Efficiency: Useful when Caterium is abundant but Natural Gas nodes are claimed

Packaged vs. Unpackaged Transport

Method Pros Cons
Packaged NitrogenCan use trains/trucks, longer storage, no leaksRequires Empty Canisters, adds production step
Direct PipelineContinuous flow, no packaging overhead, simpler setupLimited range (300m max), no transport capability

Expert Tip: When setting up large Nitrogen Gas production, consider building a dedicated water and rubber production line nearby. Cooling Systems and other Nitrogen-based products require significant amounts of these secondary materials, and local production reduces logistical complexity.

Build your advanced factory with reliable infrastructure. Host your Satisfactory server with Supercraft for optimal performance during Tier 8 and Tier 9 production runs.
