	~~:''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 [[Civilian\|passengers]].

	~~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~~.		To create an atmosphere, an oxygen-supplying system is required, the most basic of which is a [[loader]] connected via [[pipe]]s to an [[airduct]]. A downside of this basic system is that oxygen supply will shut off whenever the loaded oxygen bottle runs out, until a crew member bothers to replace it. This can be avoided by connecting a [[tank]] or additional loader to provide oxygen for a period of time after the loader runs out.

	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~~.		Atmosphere levels are visually indicated in a few ways:
			- The [[status bars]], located in the top left of the screen, display the current oxygen and CO<sub>2</sub> levels.
			- Along the lower right edge of the screen, the Atmosphere view can be toggled on or off. When on, each floor tile will be overlaid with an indicator of the percent oxygen and CO<sub>2</sub> that exist at that tile.

			== Removing CO<sub>2</sub> ==

			The ship's population will slowly generate CO<sub>2</sub>, which will build up in the atmosphere. If the CO<sub>2</sub> level reaches 10%, the population will begin to suffocate. CO<sub>2</sub> can be removed with a [[CO2 Scrubber]], which can be connected to an [[Air Reprocessor]] to convert the captured CO<sub>2</sub> to oxygen.

			If the CO2 Scrubber says it is "blocked," this means that the output has nowhere to go. In this case, connecting a tank or (un)loader to the CO<sub>2</sub> pipe is good practice.

			== Partitioning atmospheres ==

			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. Atmosphere passes freely through ladders to and from the [[Habitation Deck]].

			The [[hull]] might rupture during combat or meteor showers, causing the atmosphere to vanish into space. If the area beneath a ladder loses atmosphere, so does the area of [[Habitation Deck]] it is connected to. On vessels that carry [[civilian]]s, or that lack available [[spacesuit]]s for [[crew]], it may be good practice to create separate atmospheres to limit this danger. Each atmosphere partition should have its own airduct to supply oxygen when doors are closed.
