Editing Atmosphere

:''For information on building and optimizing an atmosphere maintenance system, see [[Life support]].''

An [[oxygen]]-rich, [[CO2|CO<sub>2</sub>]]-poor atmosphere is required on all ships carrying a [[population]]. To create an atmosphere, an oxygen-generating system is required. The most basic of which is a [[Loader]] connected via [[pipe]]s to an [[Airduct]]. However, players will likely want to set up a more advanced system.

A ship's atmosphere can be split into multiple areas if walls and doors surround these areas. Open doors will cause the two atmospheres on either side to mix. The [[hull]] might rupture during combat, causing the atmosphere to escape into space. For this reason, it may be good practice to create a separate atmosphere for the [[Habitation Deck]]. Engines and weapons may be more likely targets for hostiles. Therefore, hull breaches may be more likely in those areas.
