Atmospherics is the heart of Stationeers \u2014 and the thing that kills most new players. This guide covers the fundamentals of building a sealed, breathable, survivable base: sealing rooms, making breathable air, managing pressure and temperature, the core gear, and the common ways crews suffocate.<\/p>\n

Seal the room first<\/h2>\n

Atmosphere leaks through any gap. A breathable room needs fully sealed walls, floors and ceiling, plus an airlock<\/strong> \u2014 two doors with a buffer between them so you don’t vent the whole room every time you step outside. If pressure won’t hold when you fill the room, you have a leak somewhere \u2014 check walls, frames and any unfinished tiles.<\/p>\n

What makes air breathable<\/h2>\n

Your crew needs oxygen at a survivable pressure<\/strong> (roughly 50\u2013100 kPa of breathable mix) and a comfortable temperature. Too little pressure and they can’t breathe; pure oxygen is a fire and health risk<\/strong>, which is why most players run an oxygen\/nitrogen mix rather than pure O₂. You also have to remove the CO₂<\/strong> your crew exhales, or it builds up and poisons them.<\/p>\n
