Place the reactor and one loader together somewhere in your vessel's interior. It may be most efficient to place this close to where you intend to build your engines, as the reactor and engines are the main components that require fuel. Connect the reactor's fuel connector to the loader's output. A crew member should immediately pick up a fuel canister and deposit it on the loader. After a moment of spinup, your reactor will spring to life, ready to provide power to your ship.

The crew members have enough oxygen to survive without an atmosphere for several minutes, so there is some flexibility in the order that the player can build systems. That said, a working atmosphere means the player doesn't need to rush and can lay things out the way they want. Therefore, we will establish essential [[life support]]. Purchase the following items from the [[Trade]] screen:

Similarly to how we set up our power system, place the airduct and loader together. Connect the airduct's oxygen connector to the loader's output and the power connector to the reactor's power output. Once a crew member has loaded an oxygen canister into the loader, your airduct will begin pumping that oxygen into the ship's atmosphere.

You can select the Atmosphere overlay to see the interior change from a lattice pattern to red horizontal lines. The lines will progress towards green and expand to fill their tiles as oxygen fills the atmosphere. Once the atmosphere is sufficient to sustain them, the crew members will remove their spacesuits and transfer them to the cargo storage area. Keeping the spacesuits on hand is good in a hull breach during battle or if there is a blockage in your life support system.
