The Water Launch Pad is the staging ground for shipping fresh water off-planet for sale, which is the primary means of gaining credits.
Gathering Water
Gathering water is how you will fund your economy. You can keep an eye on your water supplies by looking at the resource meter. Although it is only technically necessary to have one Water Launch Pad, it can be useful to build additional pads near each source of fresh water that you discover, so that your Freighters have only a short trip to make to deposit each load.
Each Water Launch Pad that you build also provides you with a Freighter. The Freighter will automatically begin harvesting water when the construction completes if there is a node within the line of sight of one of your units.
Beware: it is necessary to have a Water Launch Pad before you can gather water. Even having Freighters will do you no good if you have no way of shipping the water for sale. Even if you are flush with cash, don’t forget to build at least one Water Launch Pad before your funds become exhausted, so that you will be able to replenish your credits in the future.
