Every crewmember spawning with a pocket tank in their o2 box
which is smaller in volume but available for everyone.
Breathing time = ~5 minutes

Roll of dice to spawn with an emergency tank in their o2 box
which is still small and fits in ya pocket but treated as a normal gas tank, filled by 1/12%
Breathing time = ~5 minutes if not filled. ~20 minutes at max kpa & pure o2

From my experience, a filled O2 tank lasts you a whole shift, if you don't have it active while being in breathable atmosphere. An emergency tank is enough for most repairs or smaller building projects you need it for.
1 full small o2-container is enough to go trench exploring in a minisub. 2 if you really try to play safe.
Refills are all around the station. I think they are in a fine place.
Ayee of course a full big tank will carry you for the whole shift.
But this, first of all, requieres a big tank. Backpack or hands slots? say goodbye.
Maybe it's just me or the dumb ass title I put this though.
But this was meant as emergency tank complaints.
Apparently there arent't many thinkings about it, I'm glad.
Still I hate patrolling airless corridors.
Beam us up, Scotty!
