Chances to gather gases don't represent composition of Earth's atmosphere #83

I know this is a bit nit-picky about the accuracy of the game, but I noticed that the chance to gather Oxygen on Earth in the game is much greater than the chance to gather Nitrogen, which does not represent real life data. (Hopefully it's okay to reference Wikipedia...)

The Wikipedia article on the composition of Earth's atmosphere says that Nitrogen takes up 78% of the air and Oxygen takes up 20.9%, while other gases take up a tiny percent of the air. I'm aware that Hydrogen and other gases are used in crafting, but are in small quantities in the atmosphere. I'm only saying that the chance to find Oxygen should be lower than Nitrogen and the other probabilities should be left untouched.

I suggest we look at building enhancements to get more rare gasses- realistically, the atmosphere is not a great place to gather hydrogen or any of the other lighter gasses.
