===Harvest=== | |||
All resources can be collected from post-combat debris. [[Waste water]] can be harvested from [[Ice Comet|ice comets]] with [[Mining Laser|mining lasers]] and then purified. Oxygen can be produced from water with an [[Oxygen Maker|oxygen maker]], though this risks using up the water supply if not monitored. | |||

With the right equipment, CO<sub>2</sub> and sewage can be recycled back into oxygen, food, and water. [[Research]] can increase the quantity of resources recovered from this process. | With the right equipment, CO<sub>2</sub> and sewage can be recycled back into oxygen, food, and water.
