This article is about the current version of Life Support. For the Atlas Rises version, see Life Support (Atlas). |
Life Support is a core component of the exosuit.
Summary
Provides general life support as part of the general exosuit functionality. The level of current support is displayed on one of the various HUD bars, marked with the same "heartbeat" symbol as is displayed on the suit icon.
Unlike Hazard Protection, Life Support only drains due to movement outside of an Exocraft, space station or other habitable structure.
- walking (low drain)
- sprinting (medium drain)
- using the Jetpack (high drain)
- using Personal Forcefield (high drain)
- being in interplanetary space (extremely high drain)
These drains are increased while on a Dead planet.
Game description
The core of the Exosuit, the Life Support System continually filters and pumps breathable Oxygen.
In addition to its role in the continued existence of the Exosuit user, the Life Support Unit uses surplus oxygen to generate power for secondary systems, such as the Jetpack, Speed Augmentation and Torch.
Charge equipment with Oxygen, Oxygen Capsule, or Life Support.
