Meeple are very fragile creatures and need taking care of. But are also prone to a number of possible fatalities. Falling victim to starvation, suffocation, implosion, explosion, decapitation, electrification and incineration. They can even get sucked out of an airlock or eaten by an alien.
So to combat are are wide ranges of things in the space stations. Ranging from furniture, bedding, seating to complex machinery There is also a life support system and power grids. How you build it out for your Meeple Station will means adjust to changes.
Therefore you will responsible for rigging up the main power grid. While making sure you are creating enough power to keep everything alive. Some what similar to Surviving Mars, but not quite. So you have to keep orders and create designations.
