Contained atmosphere

I was wondering, is there a way to create a self contained atmosphere? Such as build a structure on a moon but have it so it'd internally produce oxygen or something of the kind so as not to require the survival system constantly to breath?

I know it seems like a tiny irrelevant problem, and it is, but it seems like it'd make a lot of sense to have that. So is there such a way?

 

So far, I don't think so mate.

 

There are mods that deal with that.

 

There are placeable atmospheres mods .

 

Well obviously there are mods, but currently there's no way to do it in Vanilla starbound.

 

You can't do it yet, but I hope it's something added. Creating a space-base with oxygen generators and airlocks would be so cool

 

Does it matter? If there is a mod for it that's a solution. Mods are are eventually the game anyway.

 

Yeah.

 

I don't see how. For now there is an easy solution, why not use that?

 

Totally agree with you.

 

Oh sorry.

 

Totally relevant, i like to breath air.

 

Right now the mod isn't a "real" simulation of atmosphere. Basically as long as you're within a radius of the object, you get air. If not, you don't.

I'm hoping to see a more "realistic" simulation of air. You put an oxygen generator in a structure, it slowly fills up the room. Bigger rooms take longer to fill. If you open a door to the outside, the air escapes. Sort of like a liquid simulation with air.

 

You do realize the amount of lag this will cause, yes?

I would like the option too, for realism sake, but then I get attacked by a poo monster and realize that realism is definitely not this game's selling point...

 

It's only because the way in works right now isn't ideal. The question is: why Devs didn't think about a way to create a self contained atmosphere from the beginning. Because it's kinda stupid to have an epic moon base where you have to wear life support system. We have cold system and means to control it, but no solution for oxygen? Strange decision.

It's not about realism. It's simply about something being logical or not. And any game could have it's own share of strange, bizarre and lulz things like poo mob. You're not advocating to remove hunger system, for example, because the game is unrealistic anyway, so how oxygen system is different, it's not like it gonna feel as "not in place" in SB?
