Will life-support systems have limits to how many people they can support?
Vidas Okunis · System Designer, Foundry 42 Frankfurt

Oh, yes. The plan is how it works: we have rooms. Each room has a volume. Each volume can hold X amount of gas. We track the mass of gas in every single room. So we have producers which produce oxygen for you and we have consumers. In this case, it's the players. So yes, technically you can breathe out all the air and die horribly.

And I imagine that the next question that anybody's going to have is how long before that happens. But I imagine that has to change depending on the ship, the equipment, the size of the room. There's a number of factors that's going to determine that, right?

Vidas Okunis · System Designer, Foundry 42 Frankfurt

Yes, naturally. It depends on the size of the room. It depends on oxygen producers that we have on board. It also depends on: are you wearing a helmet? Because if you are, you're not breathing atmosphere from the room. So you're using internal oxygen supply.
