DreamApart Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Currently the astronauts do not consume anything (oxygen or food) while in flight. So if every is in flight then no one needs to eat anything, this is kind of ridiculous. The command capsule should need to be supplied with sufficient food before the launch. And the quantity of the food depends on the number of cycles needed for the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharraShimada Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Yes it should have a storage for oxygen, besides the little amount stored in a exo-suit, and a calorie-storage that depents on the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madbro Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Well, I think they eat oxylites XD Munching rocks can be an intersting experience. (Though I haven’t tired?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If every dupe is in flight you get a colony lost (game over) message. Not that that has any bearing on the topic at hand, just thought I'd throw that out there.

LOL Anyway, it's just a hypothesis. Just it will be strange if the food requirement is reduced just because someone is in the space. BTW, you can still continue to play even when colony is lost, and the Pod can still be used by clicking the message at the top-left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. Unfortunately there are a lot elements missing in 'economics&mechanics' of rocketry. For instance speed is fixed (In real space you can use more fuel to get to destination faster). All 'space bodies' are fixed at specific distance. Time spent on gathering resources is fixed (and, if I remember correctly, instant. How dupe without mining capability can mine something stronger then igneous rock is unclear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
