What is Life Support?

Life Support is an addon created by Shanjaq. Life Support 3 is an improved version created by numerous community members, it employs many new models and effects which add a much more richer gameplay. Much more choices and depth of survival can be found throughout Life Support 3 and Spacebuild. You can find more information about the original concept Here.

Entities

Generators

Fusion Generator

This requires water and optionally heavy water, and produces steam and energy. If there is no water, or not enough water, available, then it will produce 5-25% (randomly) of its capacity and also take damage. If there is no heavy water, it will produce 20-80% (randomly) of its capacity (stacks with the no-water penalty) - this does not damage it.

If it gets too damaged, it will just destroy itself if there is less than 100000 energy connected, or if the convar LS_AllowNukeEffect is 0. Otherwise, it will make a huge explosion and probably kill all nearby players.

Hydro Generator

This needs to be underwater. If it doesn't work, try having it partially underwater and experiment until it works. It generates energy proportional to how much of it is underwater.

Solar Panel

This needs to be facing upwards, and generates energy depending on which planet it's on (works best in space).

Steam Turbine

This uses steam and produces water and energy. It produces 9x as much energy as it uses steam.

Wind Generator

This produces energy depending on which planet it is on. Its outputs varies significantly with time. It does not work in space.

Gas Compressor (Air/Nitrogen/Oxygen/Hydrogen)

This consumes energy and produces the relevant gas. It produces 8x as much gas as it uses energy.

Water Air Extractor

This consumes 500 water and 150 energy, and produces 250 oxygen and 250 hydrogen.

Water Heater

This consumes 100 energy. After heating up for 5 seconds, it begins converting 10 water into 10 steam. Note that, if you're clever enough to avoid an explosion, a fusion generator can be used instead - it has no heat-up time and produces energy instead of consuming it.

Heavy Water Electrolyzer

Consumes 200 energy and 400 water, and produces 4 heavy water.

Liquid Nitrogen Generator

Consumes 450 energy and 60 nitrogen, and produces 45 liquid nitrogen.

Water Pump

Consumes 10 energy and produces 80 water. Needs to be underwater. Many people have reported problems using this. If you need water and cannot make this work, the alternative is the Hydrogen Fuel Cell.

Hydrogen Fuel Cell

Consumes 100 hydrogen and 100 oxygen, and produces 200 water and 125 energy. If you cannot make the Water Pump work, this is the alternative.

Storage Devices

Resource Cache

Stores oxygen, nitrogen, liquid nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, heavy water, energy, and water.

Energy Cell

Stores energy.

Gas Tank (except steam)

Stores gas.

Steam Tank

Stores steam. On cold planets in Spacebuild, the steam slowly turns into water.
