Population

The population of a ship is the combination of civilians and crew members that reside on a ship, whether temporarily as part of a contract or permanently.

To survive, the population requires four things:

• an oxygen-rich, CO₂-poor atmosphere
• 20 units of food
• 4 units of water
• the removal of sewage

The population will automatically use resources stored in tanks. When civilians die, crew members transport the bodies, and a shuttle arrives to pick them up.
