Plan your next Space Haven session
Our independent guide helps you observe how Space Haven’s systems interact, so you can build resilient ships, keep crews healthy, and handle encounters without relying on hidden shortcuts or undocumented tricks.
01 / THE GUIDE
Ship Layout Planning
Draw a grid outline, mark where power nodes, life‑support, and sleeping quarters will sit, then compare the sketch to the in‑game layout to spot inefficient pathways.
- Consider locating sleeping areas away from high‑traffic zones.
- Use the freedom to experiment with both symmetric and asymmetric designs.
02 / THE GUIDE
Life Support Balancing
After adding new rooms, record Oxygen and CO2 readings, relocate scrubbers if needed, and note which arrangement stabilizes gases most quickly.
- Monitor gas levels after adding new rooms.
- Place scrubbers near sources that emit hazardous gases.
03 / THE GUIDE
Crew Mood Tracking
Log each member’s mood before and after adjusting food, sleep, or comfort sources, then identify which need changes produce the largest mood improvements.
- Check mood indicators regularly.
- Balance assignments to match individual skills and traits.
04 / THE GUIDE
Combat Role Assignment
During a test battle, assign crew to battlestations, turrets, and repair tasks, observe how quickly breaches are fixed, and adjust roles for smoother coordination.
- Assign crew to battlestations before combat begins.
- Repair hull breaches promptly to limit gas exposure.
05 / THE GUIDE
Exploration Preparation
List required suits, weapons, and tools for each away mission, compare against the target ship’s known hazards, and refine the loadout to balance safety and salvage yield.
- Equip away teams with suits for vacuum exposure.
- Scan unknown structures to locate hidden resources.
