One of the main objectives inIxionis to protect the hull of your spaceship. If you cannot secure it, the hull will slowly deplete and end the game. To save yourself from this scenario, you must constantly maintain the hull integrity of the spaceship by repairing it through anEVA Airlock.

What is EVA Airlock?

EVA Airlock is one of the buildings in Ixion that allows users to repair the hull and construct engines/solar panels. you’re able to erect the building for60 Alloysand1 Electronic Chipfrom theConstructiontab. Also, the game restricts you from building only one per sector.

How to improve hull integrity in Ixion

After building an EVA Airlock, it is time to start the repairing process. Connect your EVA Airlock building to an active alloy stockpile with the help of a road. Now, click on the EVA Airlock machine and toggle thehull repair optionto start repairing the hull.

you’re able to speed up the repair process by building several EVA Airlock buildings in each sector. The infrastructure uses four alloys to repair up to 48 units of hull integrity per cycle. So, make sure to maintain a constant supply. Otherwise, your hull will start deteriorating the moment the supply chain is cut. With each cycle, your hull integrity will keep improving and move toward themaximum value of 900.

How to manage hull integrity while constructing solar panels or engine

The EVA Airlock engine only performs one task at a time. You can either use it to repair the hull or construct essential items like a solar panel that can increase the overall power capacity of your spaceship. So, when you are ready to build solar panels or engine modules, we recommend having your hull integrity at least above700to compensate for the loss of repairing time. Also, verify to turn back the Repair after constructing the items.
