Description
A Sleeper stops the hunger and thirst timers for the occupant inside so long as power is provided, as well as encasing its occupant in an atmosphere that's potentially easier to control than that of a room's.
Once properly setup and maintained, allows for controlled sleep giving a safe place to log off.
Unlike a Bed, Occupants must take off their suit and helmet (but not backpack/uniform/glasses/belt, where their suit can be stored into) in order to use. This makes it necessary to place the sleeper in a room which is habitable by the player relative to their species.
It can also be used at the start of brutal runs to stop the need to eat and drink while you wait for plants to grow. However, this needs a mostly automated base.
Basic Setup
The simplest to set up the Sleeper is is put it in a breathable room, then hook up power and a Passive Vent.
This setup is a sidegrade relative to a Bed as it requires continuous power to suspend life while still maintaining the breathability requirements of a bed, but can take up less space depending on the sleeper variant used or be connected to a different room than the one the sleeper is in.
Intermediate Setup Example
- Build the Filtration, put in oxygen filter so it throws out the rest
- On the output build a Gas Tank Storage or similar.
- And a Pressure Regulator to feed a constant pressure to the sleeper (27-100kpa).
- Passive Vent or similar to eject the co2 from the waste output.
- Wire it up.
- put your suit airtank in the system (will use 4000kpa from it to charge the pipes).
- take your suit off and place in any available inventory (or in a nearby crate/hardsuit rack).
- Then turn on and jump in for a good nights rest.
This design works for a while because the sleeper connector is bidirectional, and it needs a constant trickle of air flowing to draw out the co2 and clean it up. However, its limited air supply will eventually cause its occupant to suffocate.
Once you build larger systems you might want to feed the air at a proper temperature too, but fresh spawned characters have 20c oxygen tanks.
Advanced Setup Example
This setup is fully autonomous and will take care of maintaining temperature, pressure as well filtering.
- Pressure Regulator is set to desired pressure (100kPa)
- It is important to place AC and Filtration in the specified order
- Oxygen Tank could be any source of oxygen Build the Filtration, put in oxygen filter so it throws out the rest
- Set AC temp to something suitable (20°C)
- Build Heat sink similar to Guide (Air Conditioning), use any suitable coolant, but make sure to have at least 100kPa in heat sink pipe.
