Poison Gas Plants

Learn about the dangerous green Poison Gas in Satisfactory, its sources like Spore Flowers and Poison Pillars, how it damages you, and how to protect yourself with a Gas Mask and Filters.

Hey there, pioneer! Let's talk about something you'll definitely want to be aware of as you explore: Poison Gas. It's a nasty green cloud that can really put a damper on your day, dealing 5 damage per second to you and even some of the local wildlife. Where does it come from? You'll find Poison Gas being produced by a few things: * Spore Flowers: These can be found scattered around. The good news is, if you detonate them with a Nobelisk, they'll stop producing gas. * Poison Pillars: These are another source. Fun fact: since Update 8, you can actually destroy these with a Nobelisk too, though that's only available in the experimental version of the game right now. * Elite Gas Stingers: Watch out for these aggressive creatures! Sometimes, you'll stumble into areas thick with poison gas, and you won't see any obvious sources like Spore Flowers or Poison Pillars. It's just one of those environmental hazards you'll have to deal with. What happens when you're in it? Your screen will get a red tint, letting you know you're in danger, even if you're wearing a Gas Mask. However, if you're zipping through in an Electric Locomotive or a Hyper Tube, you'll see a yellow tint when you pass through a cloud, but you won't take any damage. Phew! Important Items and Locations: Keep an eye out, because sometimes valuable items like Crash Sites, Power Slugs, Mercer Spheres, and Somersloops are found right in the middle of these gas clouds. You might have to brave the gas to get them! Protection is Key: Your best bet for dealing with Poison Gas is the Gas Mask combined with Filters. Equip these, and you'll be able to wander through the gas without taking damage. Just remember that the Gas Mask with filters might not protect you if you're inside a vehicle – you'll still take that 5 damage per second. It's a bit of a bug, so be careful! Quick Tips: * If you only spend less than 1 second in the gas, you won't take any damage. * If you're in an area with multiple gas sources, the damage stacks up, so be extra cautious! * Even creatures like Hogs and Spitters can be hurt by the gas. You'll often see them dying off near gas-filled Crash Sites.
