Atmo Suit Dock

Atmo Suit Dock is a building that services Atmo Suits by emptying their waste and refilling their internal air supply. The dock performs both functions (waste disposal and air charging) but can actively charge or process only one suit at any given time.

Use the dock to prepare duplicant-worn Atmo Suits for reuse after excursions into vacuum or hazardous atmospheres: when a suit returns, the dock will remove accumulated waste from the suit’s storage and replenish its breathable charge so the suit is ready for the next use. Because the dock services suits sequentially, a single dock becomes a throughput bottleneck if many trips are made in quick succession.

• Place Atmo Suit Docks near suit lockers, airlocks, or high-traffic EVA staging areas so returning duplicants can immediately dock and have waste emptied and air refilled.
• Expect only one suit to be charged/processed at a time; provide multiple docks if you need parallel turnaround for several duplicants or frequent trips.
• Position docks with access to plumbing and ventilation as appropriate for your base layout and to prevent any local congestion around airlock exits.
• Use docks as part of a dedicated EVA workflow: suit lockers for storage, Atmo Suit Docks for maintenance, and clear paths so duplicants can move suits quickly without blocking each other.

The Atmo Suit Dock is a simple but essential component of any operation that regularly sends duplicants into vacuum or toxic atmospheres; its single-suit-at-a-time limitation should guide placement and the number of docks you install.
