Line 1:

A [[ship]]'s [[Crew Member|crew]] and [[Civilian|passengers]] require:

- Oxygen

* Oxygen

- Crew can survive in [[spacesuits]], so long as they are refilled with oxygen periodically, but civilians can't wear spacesuits and require an [[atmosphere]].

** Crew can survive in [[spacesuits]], so long as they are refilled with oxygen periodically, but civilians can't wear spacesuits and require an [[atmosphere]].

- [[CO2|CO2]] removal (if an atmosphere exists).

* [[CO2|CO2]] removal (if an atmosphere exists).

- [[Food]]

* [[Food]]

- [[Water]]

* [[Water]]

- [[Sewage]] removal is not yet required (as of Alpha 14), but presumably will be at some point.

* [[Sewage]] removal is not yet required (as of Alpha 14), but presumably will be at some point.

Oxygen, food, and water can all be purchased (or retrieved from post-combat debris), and CO2 and sewage can be sold.

Line 11:

With the right equipment, the player can recycle CO2 and sewage back into oxygen, food, and water. [[Research]] can increase how much is recycled.

Additionally, [[waste water]] can be harvested from [[ice comet]]s with [[mining laser]]s and then purified. Oxygen can be produced from water with an [[~~Oxygen Maker~~]], though this risks using up the water supply if not monitored.
