Survival suit makes no sense

[Fresa]

Like the topic said: Your survivial suit makes no sense!

You have a closed Helmet, but can eat meat and the other stuff.

You can get sick of water, is there no Filter in the suit?

How can you get sick in a cave when you wear a closed helmet?

Why do you need clothes? Shouldn´t your high tec suit more than enough to protect you from heat/cold?

[AussieInHD]

You can upgrade your suit, you can auto eat/drink/have oxygen tank which then you can't get sick etc, Maybe the updated items like canteens etc stop you from becoming sick because they have the 'filters'?

Just an idea, no flame :)

If you go for a swim in the water the suit seems to filter out any bad things. Pretty much have to be submerged for it to work. Done it standing under waterfalls as well. Doing it this way with out actually drinking the water I've never gotten sick. But yea the suit really has a lot of issues.

In regards to your first point, The Helmet can be removed, mainly this would be done in the station, but it is not fixed permantly to your head. So there for you can eat and drink. Kinda of hard to feed a nice steak in thru mouth piece on your helm.

Second point, there would be some appitures of some sort to allow you to hook up water and/or air containers. Think more in terms of a professional divers suit.

Third point, that is more then a little annoying. But i think it is in part to having the hook ups for your water and oxygen tanks. Nothing is safe from leaks.

Fourth point, Think more in terms of a professional divers suit. Yes they can provide some protection from the elements, but even the best suit still needs heating from top side when you get REALLY down deep. Hot water is nice down that far.

Fourth point cont, Think more in terms of a professional divers suit. The suit it self is a jump suit, kinda of like coveralls. They do a specific function and that's it. The "armours" you can make help you to hide from animals, gives you more heat or cold resistance, and other such things. They are addons, you don't need to make any of them, they just make things easier.

Animals: I am in a forest. Plants everywhere. Also Wolves, Rabbits, Deers and Goats. Why can they breathe, but you not? It looks clearly as if the earth eco system was installed here.

So, why can everything else breathe, but you not?

[scavenger]

Because it was clearly mentioned that while the terraforming seemed to be working, something went wrong, and those animals are ADAPTED to survive on the world, you are not.

Survival suit makes no sense... agreed!

[djhighspeed]

this game dos not make sense

[BlackLabrador]

I still can't figure out why I need a suit to breathe but the animals can breathe just fine. Some of the stuff in this game doesn't even seem like it was thought out. I keep telling myself its a game, nothing is supposed to make sense.

@ BlackLabrador The terraforming went wrong, the animals adapted to survive, the exotics changed them and the plants. It's in the pinned lore thread on page 1.

Does it explain how you get pneunomia in that lore as well?

The lore says that they gods added pneumonia to force surveyors don't build bases in caves. After they discover they could use a easy to get drink to get out of that from their system they added the worms.

I didn't like the pneumonia answer to make caves uninviting, myself. I made this suggestion instead: https://icarus.featureupvote.com/suggestions/218400/suggestion-an-idea-to-replace-pneumonia-for-cave-debuff

It made sense to me when I realized the suit is a major piece of ♥♥♥♥. They make 'em as cheap as possible because prospectors are disposable contractors. We're all basic slobs with nothing left to lose, they just aren't gonna give us a fancy high-tech space suit that's built to last.

The suit's only major function is that it keeps you from breathing cyanide and junk in the air. You don't actually drink water or eat with your face because you can't remove your helmet or faceplate; the suit has a "digestive pouch" you stick food into, and a "refillable water bladder" for you to drink from.

The water filter and eating system are mega jank, though, because you can get the runs from drinking lake water, and food can also make you sick. It definitely doesn't keep bacteria and fungi from getting into your system when you're in a cave (pneumonia). It probably doesn't even do a great job at keeping breathable toxins out -- just good enough so you don't die from it during the length of a drop.

Actually, wasn't there a description video mentioning how we the prospectors basically came to the planet with almost nothing? So in other words, we could've ended up coming only just prepared, instead of overprepared, so the suits we are using are overall good enough to keep us alive, but not great at keeping us alive(lol)
(also, since suit is likely not the greatest at it's job, the pneumonia does hint at very damp air, so then said air ends up getting through whatever filter the suit is using)
