Proposal: Hydrocarbon Mining

[BaconSoda]

To be honest, the best idea might be to make (another) catch-all commodity for hydrocarbons, fertilizers, and terraforming gases. Organic Molecules might be a neat name. It would cover ammonia and methane from Tau-29 and hydrocarbons from Tau-29, Manchester, and Omega-3.

But the big problem with hydrocarbon mining is that the stations are almost universally really close to the fields. It would have to be a really low profit margin to balance out the low risk. Douglas and Rugen are at most 20k away from the edges of those fields and Nago is at most 30k away from the mining zone. The farthest station from a field is Birmingham where the field is reasonably far, however there's also a Border Station and a Gaian Station to take into consideration.

It's a really crappy situation for balance, really. One of the best solutions I could think of would be to mine in the Oxygen Asteroid Field in Tau-29 and the South Sheffield Ice Field in Manchester, but honestly looking at those names, mining those materials there is just silly and it leaves Omega-3 out of the loop completely. Really it's better to leave the Hydrocarbons as they are so they have some small purpose.
