Cannot be gathered directly.
Unstable Isotopes occur naturally across all environments, at random times. Sometimes, when collecting Oxygen Gas , Ozone Gas or Methane Gas, the gathered gas will turn out to be added to your inventory automatically.
Unstable Isotopes cannot be gathered from Vespene, Amaranthine or Therazene.
