Some people keep track of {{O2}} consumption by posting the remaining amount of {{O2}} on the ship each cycle. Since the Neron does not report which equipment is broken, you can find out in case of {{O2}} tank leakage (breakage). Normally it should be -1 per cycle. Anything more than that means leakage.

Revision as of 10:17, 11 February 2014

The Daedalus has three key resources that must be maintained at appropriate levels for the mission to succeed: Oxygen Oxygen, Fuel Fuel and Armor Armor.

Oxygen

The most difficult resource to maintain an appropriate level of is Oxygen Oxygen. At the end of each cycle the ship's Oxygen resource is reduced by one, with an additional loss of one per broken oxygen tank, if any. Oxygen loss is not affected by the number of the crew or by fires.

When the oxygen level reaches Low Oxygen 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 afterwards
    Icon TODO: Chance that characters don't die?

Plants

Oxygen can be obtained from plants. Each healthy adult plant produces 1 Oxygen 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 Icon Ian's Icon Green Thumb skill).

Explorations

A faster, but also more dangerous way to obtain Oxygen are Planet.png planetary explorations. If the analysis of a planet indicates the presence of oxygen, the expedition can gain from 0 to 24 Oxygen units depending on chance.

Fuel

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 Fuel in the game, besides occasional fuel that can be found in Space Capsules.

Armor

The Armor Armor of the ship represents the consistency of its construction. At the beginning of the game, the Daedalus has the maximum amount, 100 Armor. If Armor drops to 0, the ship breaks apart and the entire crew is killed, instantly ending the game. Armor is damaged by attacking Hunter icon.png 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 Armor and consuming one Scrap Metal if successful. The base chance of repair success is 25%. It is not influenced by the Icon Technician skill, but it is raised to 37% with the Wrench item. The Oscilloscope raises the Armor restored by a repairing action to 10, and wielding both the Wrench and the Oscilloscope raises the success rate to 75%.
