(Totally cosmetic change)
Current: The Life Support HUD is dimension-dependent.
It is always shown if you are in any GC dimension, even if you are not using the Breathing Equipment in an air-filled room. I'm not sure if it's shown in breathable planets from GC addons as well.
If you are in the Overworld above y=450, the breathing equipment is also required to avoid suffocation at high altitudes. Nonetheless, the life support HUD is not shown (not essential, unless you're using mods that allow you to go or fly hight up there).
Proposal: The said HUD would be inventory-dependent. I'm basing on the idea that it is the equipment that measures the player's vital signs and shows the meters on a torso-mounted display or an astronaut wristband.
The HUD is always shown, regardless the dimension, if the player is using the Oxygen Gear. If the Oxygen Gear is on, it checks the Oxygen Tanks to show the air levels on the HUD.
This means that:
Potential issues:
Alternative idea: due to the potential issues and probably this is a better approach.
A small button in the GC inventory or a config option that cycles through the following modes:

This means that:
- The life support HUD is shown in the Overworld if you're using the breathing equipments. Say, it's a way to test the equipments before leaving the "Earth".
- You can hide the life support HUD if you're in an air-filed room by taking off the equipments, in any GC dimension.
Potential issues:
- The player won't be able to tell he's freezing or fried to death, unless he presses E and sees his status effects, and why (you are using an invalid thermal protection, dummy!).
Alternative idea: due to the potential issues and probably this is a better approach.
A small button in the GC inventory or a config option that cycles through the following modes:
- HUD and screen alerts always shown in GC dims (default mode), currently in use;
- HUD and screen alerts shown only if using the breathing equipment (test/realism mode);
- Always hide them (too dangerous? a.k.a. Darwin mode :>).
