Please, let us trash the scuba gear

[Ren Stoker]

When your oxygen runs out, the scuba gear is useless. You can't refill the tank with it. So you can either trash it or sell it. However, you can't. I don't want an inventory full of useless scuba gear.

that seems like a development oversight
will likely get fixed unless the devs dont plan to update the demo

You know you can just get new tanks right? just put a 'rusted tank' in the tank re-filler and it gives you a new tank, keep that tank in your inventory and it automatically goes into the scuba gear when you run out of air. you find the tanks as random junk so in the demo you may not find many as the junk doesn't renew but that's why you can't trash it, its likely going to be needed to progress in the full game

you only need one scuba gear, what you need is to fill lots of rusty tanks with air and keep a few in your inventory. when one take is empty another one will automatically be equipped to your scuba gear.

You don't have to carry it with you, just put it in a chest.

This! And yes there are gonna be deeper areas that we can't access without diving gear.

When I refill my air tanks it doesn't top up my scuba gear. From what I can tell, it works the way the OP describes. You have to keep making new scubas and the old ones don't seem to be recyclable. This doesn't make any sense, it's super confusing. Am I missing something obvious?

You only need to keep filling rusty tanks. Carry filled tanks in your inventory and the scuba mask will automatically refill when it runs out.

Thanks, do I just have to keep increasing the number of tanks in my inventory, or can I store (or ideally recycle) the tanks that have run out? This is a really confusing mechanic.

It's not entirely realistic. You lose the tank when it's empty, so you need to keep finding more rusty tanks (you can also buy 1 a day at Renard's).

It doesn't seem to work that way. I have run out of multiple scuba gears and have never lost an air tank yet.

It does work that way (unless you have a bug). You're only supposed to use one scuba gear. Then whenever it runs out, it refills from one of the filled tanks in your inventory. You don't get any empty tanks back from using a filled one. So you have to keep getting new tanks to fill, so you can use them.

[BU4U Gaming]

And if you think you're not losing the empty tanks it's just because you don't notice picking up new ones. People often miss the fact that they sometimes get rusty tanks from dismantling certain things.

I finally saw that happening, you're right! It's still pretty confusing though, I wish there had been a better explanation in the game. So like the OP I now have multiple scuba gear that I don't need. Maybe I will get the chance to gift them to someone sometime.

I'm not sure if it counts as a clothing item in that sense (even though it goes in a clothing gear slot), but you can always try gifting one to a critter when they ask for a clothing item. :)
