If the world has plant life it's atmoshpere is probably alright, nothing
poisonus to plants and the plants renew the atmosphere. On the other hand
no plants means the atmosphere gets worse never better and so is probably
fouled or worse.

Their are a couple of ways to mine on void worlds. I allow active helms to
maintain their ships air until deactivated. This limits the time a normal
helm can retain air but a Citadel can change a few dwarfs at a time and
keep 100 (the minimum to power the forge) dwarfs working around the clock.
If the mineshaft is air tight and the opening is in the Citadels envelope,
clerics can cast air producing spells to fill the mine with air. Also a
Crown of the Void provides an air bubble, as do some mage and cleric spells
at medium levels.
