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.

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.
