Each Source-template action creates one listed inventory object or stage; omitted ingredient amtN means one input, following the retained template contract. · Atmospheric gas inputs are individual gas units, not full five-unit canisters. Natural gases are acquisition boundaries; condenser extraction rates depend on planet concentration and are not invented.
