Argon is a gas resource inStarfieldmainly used in research and development. However, harvesting and storing this vapor chemical can be quite challenging. Players often wonder how to approach Ar vents in the game, given their poisonous nature, and if there’s an automated way to collect it. Luckily, collecting Argon is fairly easy and risk-free when equipped with the right tools. To simplify the harvesting process, this guide presents three actionable methods forfarming Argon (Ar)inStarfield.

How to Get Argon
To get more Argon, players will need tointeract with an active Argon Vent. Additionally, they canbuild an Argon Extractor in their Outpostor buy it from suppliers.
Collect Argon from Vents
When scanning an Argon (Ar) Vent, players will noticethe “Harvest” buttonappearing next to it. The key is to get as close to the vent as possible; otherwise, the prompt will not appear. It’s important to remember that Argon is a poisonous gas that can cause lung damage. Therefore, players should aim to complete the harvest quickly and move away from the vents as soon as they can.
For a manual Argon harvest, it’s best towear a resilient spacesuit like the Mark I.
Build an Argon Extractor Over a Vein
To collect Argon automatically, players should add an Extractor to the Outpost. When placed over a vein, the Argon Extractor will mine this resource and store it for the player.
Argon veins show up on the map as blue circles while players are in the build mode. These spots are typically found near gas vents.
Purchase Argon from Vendors
The most convenient way of getting Argon is by purchasing it. Players can visit anysupplier in the major citiesto ask for extra Ar. Luckily, this resource is fairly cheap, and players canbuy a pack for only 5 Credits.
If the merchant runs out of Argon, players canwait on a chair for 24 hoursuntil they’re restocked.
Best Planets to Farm Argon
The ideal Argon farming location is the planet ofNesoiin theOlympus star system, but players will also find abundant Argon Vents onUmbriel, the moon of Uranus.
Players looking to extract and transfer Argon to other outposts will first need to place an Extractor on one of these planets and thencreate Cargo Linksto move resources. Those who can’t build links can construct a Gas Storage so they can harvest more Argon.
