Upgrade Chain (4 tiers)
| Tier | Facility | Build Cost | Build Time | Labor | Power | Life Sup. | Materials |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | Life Support Systemthis tier | 600,000 | 150 | 40 | — | — | 2 |
| L2 | Environmental Processor | 1,800,000 | 225 | 60 | — | — | 2 |

Each tier is built by upgrading the one below it. Cost, build time and power draw climb with the tier; the recipe it runs stays the same.
