Maintenance
Consumed continuously to keep the facility running. Starve it and it degrades.
SuppliedThe gardens flourish under precisely-tuned grow lights, filtering air and providing fresh vegetables while technicians tend the ecosystem with scientific care.
StarvedThat's how it's designed. Water rationing has wilted half the hydroponic beds, and atmospheric scrubbers labor to compensate; residents notice the air growing stale.
Upgrade Chain
Solarian Biosphere has no upgrade path — it is built once, at this level.
Lore
The jewel of Sol Central — a self-sustaining biosphere that provides fresh air, clean water, and real food to thousands of inhabitants. The gardens produce enough oxygen to supply a small fleet, and the water filtration system is the benchmark against which all others are measured.
