Here is why it is difficult to mine for Gas.

In EVE Online, the distribution of gas sites is influenced by several factors including security status, regional restrictions, and the type of gas being sought. Here's a quick summary of the factors involving Gas Sites.

High Sec

Gas sites are relatively rare in high sec space. However, regions like Derelik are noted for having a decent frequency of gas sites, particularly for Mykoserocin gas. Other regions where gas sites can occasionally be found in high sec include:

• Aridia
• The Forge
• Placid
• Solitude
• Molden Heath

Low Sec

Low sec is considered the prime location for gas harvesting due to the higher frequency of gas sites. Specific regions known for gas sites in low sec include:

• Derelik (for Lime/Frentix gas)
• Heimatar (for Vermillion gas)
• Aridia (for Malachite/Mindflood gas)
• Kor-Azor (for various gas types)

Null Sec

Gas sites in null sec are region-specific and often concentrated in certain constellations within those regions. For example:

• Delve has Mindflood gas but only in specific systems.
• Catch has various gas types like Lime/Frentix in different nebulae.
