Engineering facilitates the role of an Engineer on a ship, whose tasks include monitoring ship systems and damage, switching power distribution using presets, and repairing failing parts of a ship.

==Component management==

==Resource network==

Resources are generates as part of Ship Components and are used to "power" certain systems. Currently, ''(please very this its as far as i know)'' the only resource in-game is LS, which stands for Life Support. LS is used to keep rooms pressurized and to maintain their temperature. You can disable LS use for every room in the ship individually. If powered off, the atmosphere inside the rooms will stay unless vented (Which can be done by opening a door to outside or to another room which doesn't have pressure)

==Armor==

==Fires==

Fires happen as a result of components overheating or direct damage. They can be put out manually with fire extinguishers, or by removing air from the room.
