The Life support unit is a wall-mounted building that produces power, heat, and oxygen.

Acquisition

Life support units cannot be constructed or minified. They can only be found in-situ on abandoned orbital platforms, where they are typically abundant.

Summary

Every 250 ticks (4.17 secs), a life support unit lowers the vacuum percentage of its current room. The room must be enclosed by airtight structures and roofed. It changes the vacuum percentage at a base rate of −5% per second per 100 tiles, scaling proportionally to the number of tiles enclosed; for instance, a room with 25 tiles will reduce the vacuum percentage by −20% per second, while a room with 200 tiles will drop by −2.5% per second. Multiple oxygen sources may be required to pressurize especially large rooms.

Life support units will attempt to heat the room so long as the room temperature is lower than 20 °C (68 °F). As opposed to a heater, the target temperature cannot be configured.

Analysis

Although these cannot be built or claimed, like all power buildings power can be drawn from it by connecting power conduits of any kind to it. Set up a base in an abandoned orbital platform and never worry about power, heat, or vacuum again.
