Resources
Daedalus has three key resources that must be maintained at appropriate levels for the human mission to proceed: 
Oxygen, 
Fuel and 
Armor.
Oxygen
The most difficult to maintain an appropriate level of is Oxygen. At the end of each cycle the ship's oxygen resource is reduced by one - regardless of the number of alive players or relation of 
Human to 
Mush. If either or both of oxygen tanks are damaged, the two units of oxygen will be subtracted at the end of the cycle. When the oxygen level reaches 
0 at the end of that cycle some crew member dies. Sometimes When The Ship Is Really Lucky No one Dies
Plants
Oxygen can be obtained from 
plants grown in a Hydroponic Garden. Each adult plant produces one unit of oxygen at the end of the day (end of 8 cycle). Plants cannot fully replenish spent oxygen at the beginning of the mission (with default 5 Hydropots), but in the long run, given needed care and necessary NERON Projects (Extra Hydropots for 3 more Hydropots) can normally cover the ship oxygen needs, and then some (2 more Hydropots with Ian's Green Thumb skill).
Explorations
More faster but also more dangerous way to obtain oxygen are 
planetary explorations. If the analysis 
indicates the presence of oxygen on planet, the expedition can gain from 0 to 24 units of oxygen depending of success rate.
Fuel
Fuel is necessary to move the Daedalus. The maximum fuel level is 32 units, which should be sufficient for an average game. However, it may happen that a intensive and long-term exploration of the planets will be necessary to replenish the fuel. The only way of obtaining fuel are explorations of planets which have Hydrocarbon deposits.
Armor
The armor of the ship represents the consistency of its construction. At the beginning of the game it is 100. If armor drops to 0 ship is falling apart and the entire crew is killed ending the game. The main factor influencing the reduction of armor are 
hunters and asteroids. Damage inflicted by hunters and asteroids are counted at the end of each cycle, if any of them are currently flying around the ship.
The frequency of hunters and asteroids makes it necessary to supplement the armor in the game. This can be done by repairing the ship, this action is available in any room in which there are scrap metal. Each member of the crew can make repairs, one-time repair of armor adds 5 points and requires one scrap metal. Base chance of success for all crew members (tech and non-tech alike) is 25%. This is raised to 37% with the Wrench. The Oscilloscope raises the amount of hull repair provided by each scrap metal to 10 and when Wrench and Oscilloscope are held, chances of success are 75%.
