* On a basic view, a 16 kPa minimum O2 requirement in internals. Pure O2 is theoretically toxic in real life, but has no representation for this in code, and takes a while to be really dangerous anyway (they use it to treat certain diseases, for example), and thus using an air tank for internals is fairly inefficient. | * On a basic view, a 16 kPa minimum O2 requirement in internals.

* Cold air has more moles per kPa, and because people breath in moles, and filling tanks usefully for internals is largely capped by the 1000 kPa release pressure, which means cooling your air before using in internals is important. Cooled down air, such as from a freezer-ed canister, is the most efficient way to set up internals.

* If you need to empty an internal tank to make space for better, colder air, you can use an air pump. Set it to 'pump in' and 'turn on' then 'off' with the tank inside it, allowing you to refill the tank more effectively. | * If you need to empty an internal tank to make space for better, colder air, you can use an air pump.
