Habitat Builder

The Alterra handheld habitat builder has been an essential tool of xenoscientists, colonists and emergency relief crews across 11 different trans-govs for more than 50 years.

- Habitat modules are hermetically sealed from the outside environment - Build on land, underwater, or in a vacuum - Habitats can be enhanced to become long-term homes, remote research stations, defensive outposts and more

Quick Start Guide: 1. Select the basic compartment from the builder menu and place it somewhere opportune 2. Add a hatch to access the compartment 3. Build a solar panel to power the habitat's oxygen generator 4. Construct useful interior modules like radios, rechargers and storage solutions

Primary habitat systems like oxygen generation and flood control, as well as modules like the fabricator draw power and will not function without it. Additional compartments reduce overall hull integrity, depending on the external pressure.
