The Daedalus has three key resources that must be maintained at appropriate levels for the mission to succeed: 
Oxygen, 
Fuel and 
Armor.
Oxygen
The most difficult resource to maintain an appropriate level of is Oxygen. It is an important resources because we will die if the ship is running out of .
Losing by
- 1 is consumed at the end of each cycle, regardless of the number of the crew alive
- Leakage: 1 is lost at the end of each cycle if you have either oxygen tank broken; 2 if both are broken.
Note: Oxygen loss is not affected by fires.
Gaining by
- Plants: Each healthy adult plant produces 1 each day (at the start of cycle 1). Plants cannot fully replenish spent oxygen in the beginning, limited by starting 5 Hydropots, but in the long run, given needed care and necessary NERON Projects (Extra Hydropots for 3 more Hydropots) can normally cover the ship's oxygen needs and then some (2 more Hydropots with
Ian's 
Green Thumb skill).
- Exploration: A faster, but also more dangerous way to obtain are
planetary explorations. If the analysis of a planet indicates the presence of oxygen, the expedition can gain from 0 to 24 units depending on chance.
Consequences
When the oxygen level reaches 
0, a random crew member will die every cycle. If a character is holding an oxygen capsule he will be saved from asphyxiation but the capsule will be used up.
- Even characters in Scouts/on Expeditions can be chosen randomly to die
- If this occurs on a day change when plants produce oxygen, a player will still die as the new oxygen is not counted until afterward
TODO: Chance that characters don't die?
Tips & Notes
Some people keep track of consumption by posting the remaining amount of on the ship each cycle. Since the Neron does not report which equipment is broken, you can find out in case of tank leakage (breakage). Normally it should be -1 per cycle. Anything more than that means leakage.
Fuel
Fuel is necessary to move the Daedalus. The maximum fuel level is 32 units, which should be sufficient for an average game. A broken fuel tank does not leak fuel, it only becomes inaccessible for manual fuel operation (extracting and inserting). However, eventually an Expedition may be necessary to replenish fuel, as certain planet zones (Hydrocarbon, Mountain, Caverns and Shipwreck) are the main source of in the game, besides occasional fuel that can be found in Space Capsules.
Armor
The Armor of the ship represents the consistency of its construction. At the beginning of the game, the Daedalus has the maximum amount, 100 . If drops to 0, the ship breaks apart and the entire crew is killed, instantly ending the game. Armor is damaged by attacking 
hunters and asteroids, which is counted at every cycle change.
The frequency of hunters and asteroids makes it necessary to repair the ship. Anyone can attempt repairs with Scrap Metal anywhere on the ship, restoring 5 and consuming one Scrap Metal if successful. The base chance of repair success is 25%. It is not influenced by the 
Technician skill, but it is raised to 37% with the Wrench item. The Oscilloscope raises the restored by a repairing action to 10, and wielding both the Wrench and the Oscilloscope raises the success rate to 75%.
