Colonist Right #8

Safe Habitat Design

As part of settlement safety, each contained habitat or settlement must contain individual modules with full airlocks in case of breaches to the habitat hull or containment system. Each module must contain a minimum of 2 hatches or docking ports to enable quick removal or respositioning of damaged sections. Larger sections, such as a central hub of a station, will by definition have more hatches unless the specialized usage of the module prohibits this.

Specialized usages that may prohibit sufficient hatches from being placed on a section may include:

• engineering systems
• gymnasiums
• research facilities
• escape or shuttle pods

This is by no means to say that these facilities may not have more hatches, but that their construction may make such hatches unusable.
