What does difficulty impact in Void Bastards?

Solution 1:

I unfortunately can't give you an answer which breaks each level down exactly, but I did find the following.

Blue Manchu, a Void Bastards developer, posted the following on the Steam forums:

We don't break it out as it changes a lot of parameters. Primarily amount of damage enemies do to you, but also ammo drops, oxygen amount, number of starmap hazards, speed at which security detects you and probably some other things that I've forgotten.

And also this:

A list of things that change with difficulty (there may be more too):

• Amount of damage you take from enemy shots, hazards, etc
• Amount of food and fuel both on board ships and in the nebula
• Oxygen
• Response speed of gunpoints and watchers.
• Ammo loot amounts
• Care package amounts
• Time enemies stay stunned
• Type of entities and locations encountered in the nebula (whales, hermits, etc).

There is also this thread, but it has far too much information to post here.
