GAME TIPS

SpaceStationSim is about creation and customization of your unique station and crew, cooperation between all five agencies, and care of your astronauts.

Build as many different stations as you like. Each station you create is special for your astronauts. Place your habitation modules close together, shortening your astronauts' travel to eat, sleep, exercise, shower, and use the bathroom. Or, place your science modules close together to allow your astronauts to perform more experiments. Each design you create will cause the astronauts to work harder or easier, faster or slower and breakdown more or less. You have dozens of life support and scientific components with which to customize each module. Everything is up to you. Keeping track of your components and experiments can get very complicated, so remember where you place it all!

You can also customize your astronauts' looks, behaviors, and specialties, making each of them unique and valuable. Try to create a crew of astronauts who can work together and keep their station in good shape.

Humans and animals generate CO2 and absorb O2. Plants generate O2 and absorb CO2. Use your O2 Generators, CO2 Scrubbers, Dehumidifiers and Contaminant Removal systems to maintain a healthy environment for your astronauts. Check your stats pages often!

Assign your astronauts to interact with each other! Once you can see your target astronaut in the module, click on their face in the lower left box to bring up the "Take a Break" task. Then click the forward or back arrows to step to your acting astronaut. Finally, click on the Insult, Compliment or Talk tasks on the right. Design your astronauts to interact with each other! In Astrobuilder, setting your astronautÕs social level higher will cause them to automatically interact with others more often.
