hey-yo; complete PI newbie question for you good folk...... What's considered a 'reasonable' radius for a Gas planet to be viable for a Reactive Gas extraction and P1 production chain?

I've found a few with decent deposits of Reactive Gas. Some are ridiculously huge, like 140,000km radius, while the smallest I've found is around 12,000km. Compared to the 1,400km radius Lava planet I'm busily sucking heavy metals out of, 12,000km seems huge.

I figure the smaller the planet the better, but i'm wondering what kind of experiences others have had? Is 12,000km still too hungry on link powergrid?

12,000 km is about as good as you're going to find.
