Rebreather

[CHICKEN JOCKEY]

IS it jsut me or it doesn't work? I saw some people talking about how it just works when past 200 m but even so, not for me.

The rebreather negates the depth penalty. It doesn't give you extra air, exactly, it only makes it so that air is consumed at the same rate regardless of depth. Without the rebreather, air is consumed far more quickly in deep water. A 105 High Capcity Air Tank is 105 seconds of air in shallow water but without a rebreather it's more like 45 seconds in deep water. With a rebreather it's 105 seconds everywhere.

I find mine works as described above here. However, try it with the radiation helmet and then the rebreather and see if you can see a difference in those deeper depths just to make sure there isn't some hidden bug.

OOOOHHH, ok, got it. They should update the Rebreather information to tell that difference. The "Re-uses CO²" one is reaaaalllyy vague. Thanks, man.

Normally, when you go deep without the rebreather, you use oxygen faster. Its either 2x or 3x faster than normal. So since 1 O2 is 1 second, at deeper depths every 30 O2 is 15sec or 10sec.

The rebreather negates this effect back to a 1/1 O2 usage. It doesnt extend your oxygen time/total, it just helps you use less O2 it at deeper depths.

Well yes, that is how a real rebreather works IRL.


Normal scuba aparatus releases bubbles. A Rebreather doesn't. Its used primarily in wreck diving when scuba divers are viewing fish and sealife because the bubbles can scare the fish!!

The rebreather in this game is a bit sucky rad suits are better.

Yeah but the rad suit is only needed during the 3 days that the Aurora requires to deplete the radiation.


After that I use the Still suit for the free water!!!

Once you repair the Aurora's radiation leaks and the radiation clears up, the radiation suit is pointless. Switch to the rebreather plus a stillsuit for less water needs or a reinfiorced dive suit for increased effective health

Rad Suits are useful when you eventually build a Nuclear Reactor in a base, as they are pretty much required for handling Uranium and Reactor Rods. Not entirely useless after repairing the Aurora

Have they implimented that yet? I can move my rods and uranium around without a problem wearing any suit. I still have the gloves on. I just assumed it wasn't implimented that you had to wear the full suit.

Same. I haven't had any issues without the rad suit but even if/when that becomes a thing, the rad suit is useless for general exploration and farming. Keep it in a locker outside the reactor room, switch to it while making/swapping rods, switch back to still/reinfirced when you leave the room.

If they do impliment that, it would be interesting to say the least. Having to switch out your suit half a dozen times a day when you leave your base and then return???

I seriously do not think that will happen. It would be far too inconvenient.

Until we see that on the Trello, idk. Unless it actually is there and I just skimmed over it and dont remember.

It's already on the description of the Nuclear Reactor.

No he means you just need to wear it to replace the rods in the core, otherwise you will not need to change into it. you wont have to switch out hald a dozen times a day.

Doesn't really matter which one. The point is that it may not happen anyway.

Radiation would also not be contained to 1 room. You would need the room itself to be lead lined and have an air lock to prevent contaminating the rest of your base.
