What kind of spacesuit I am wearing?

[Simpson3k]

It allows me to breath in no atmosphere but it makes me suffer from extreme cold in harsh winter environments? So it would be useless in space i assume?

Walmart.

So technically a diving mask with oxygen bottle but bikini would have the same effect.. beside of the extra combat protections.

I noticed this last night when I was running around a cold planet. I'm like, wait, this suit allows me to breath in space but it's not insulated for the cold?!?!

[Simpson3k]

Sucks if the main story.. tells you to search all around an extreme cold planet surface. Guess this will be the final part of the main story i quit it XD

It allows a certain coldness, but if look at different suits some have better environmental protecting than others. Guess way to add variety to suits and dealing with extreme planets, but honestly havent tested if other suits will even fully protect from 1 element fully.

Space is a near vacuum, so the only real heat loss is radiative, which is comparatively slow. If you're on a planet with an actual atmosphere that is very cold, you'll lose heat a ton faster.

I got frostbite running around a planet no colder than a chicago winter. Their element protection system is either bugged or terribly designed.

And if it really is a space suit why does it allow toxic gas from vents onto my lungs? How is it getting in? What the hey?
If there is a way your suit's statistics are meant to protect you from harsh environments its really poorly explained. So far as I can tell the defensive stats for radiation and airborne stuff have zero effect on planetary environmental hazard.... or if they do the effects on your protection are negligible.

You know space suits have limited timers in space right?

Your suit has an air regulator in the pack, that is how you are able to breath. Bad supply means bad for the user. And yes it would have a timed usage in space before it runs out of air supply. Same for the environment. Its only rated for a limited time. You cannot keep the heater on with no power. You cannot keep the refrigeration unit running without power. Your pack generates the power for the suit functions and has a limited charge it can supply at any one time.

You an realise astronaut on the ISS almost drowned in his suit? And space walks are limited to suit protection time (ie power remaning).

Air tight does not mean environment proof 24/7

tbh its a game, its the same deal in no mans sky, its not totally for realism its just an added difficulty mechanic
but in reality yes, space suits would be able to insulate in freezing temperatures because the vacuum of space is so cold (atleast afaik)

I always carry a couple of each of the medical packs, but I've only had to use them about ten times to cure medical issues.

I wouldn't worry about what suit you are wearing.

Just wear the most valuable suit that you find.

You are wearing a wish dot com suit.

Go wear a full fire fighting suit with breathing apparatus in 110F heat and tell me its not difficult.

It's actually more important to cool the person in a space suit than warm them. Space is a vacuum, which is a great insulator, so heat loss is only radiative (slow). Heat gain from solar radiation and body heat is a bigger concern.

That changes on a planet with a very cold atmosphere where heat loss is no longer just radiative, so it's much faster.

Edit - In short, don't believe what you see in movies.
