RSS RO RP0 Tac Life Support question

[Julien Kerman]

At the moment, I am building a spacecraft which will do moon fly-by's and enter low moon orbits. The panel shows Food, Water and Oxygen support for ~53 days,

but for Waste, WasteWater only 7, respectively 1 day.

 

What happens if I stay in space longer than the supported 7 days ? Do I have to carry all the waste ?

Did you put a waste tank on it?

No I did not. The space for the waste is included in the command pod.

If TAC LS works the same way with RO as it does without it, you'll just dump the excess WasteWater/Waste/CO₂ out of the ship once you've filled it.

W/WW/CO2 tanks are only useful if you want to use recyclers, or if you really care about realism and don't want to magically get rid of some mass.

It is included, just like food, water and oxygen, but there's not enough do you have to put additional tanks...

Alright, thank you
