Irradiated but i have the suit?

[Meme Lord Stranger]

Sorry if this is obivous or something but i just got the game.

The Aurora exploded and now i can't get really near it because radiation. However, i got the repair tool and repaired my life pod. I got a message that gave me coordinates to a life pod that has a Radiation Suit. I went to it and got it. I had 2 more other messages from 2 other lifepods. I got to one of them but it only had a PDA. The other is near Aurora.

Although i have the suit, i am still damaged by radiation. I have heard of the SeaMoth but i can't find any fragments of it (It may have been at the crash site where i found the PDA but i didn't have the chance to check it because my SeaGlide ran out of power and i keep running out of oxygen)

So why is my suit not really protecting me?

Do you also have the radiation helmet and gloves equipped? Because the suit just protects part of the character. You need the full loadout for full protection.

No, actually. I didn't know there were full parts. I don't see any other Radiation parts in the Fabrication machine.. I think, i may have to check again

When crafting it through the fabricator you automatically get all three parts.

So i have to craft the Radiation Suit which i already got for free?
*sigh* Well this game is still in Early Access i guess.

When you craft the rad suit in the fabricator, it should give you all 3 parts. Suit, helmet and gloves. However, if you read the comm message about there being only 1 complete rad suit in the damaged Lifepod we find it in, it doesn't mention that you may need to find all 3 pieces. Go back to Lifepod 6 and look around...you may have missed something.

And yeah, since it;s the only multipiece tiem we get from the fabber, it is confusing when you pick up the suit at Pod 6, and get only 1 piece...though there are a few glitches in the game right now too, lol!

There was nothing there. No wrecks, No boxes, nothing. Just the suit and a lifepod.
I crafted the suit anyways though...

The gloves and helmet were around the lifepod not in it, but I think it's glitching out because in my game I never found them. Long before then I'd gotten enough lead to make my own suit so never bothered to go really looking for it.

one is inside the pod on the wall. the other i found lying outside. but. there was another that didnt spawn. so i just built it in the lifepod instead. the gloves helmet and suit are the 3 pieces required

I keep expecting them to change it to a 1 piece suit since nothing else matches up with that requirement. You either have a full Rad suit and nothing else, or you have freedom to mix and match. The fact that the rad suit becomes useless so fast is also something I'm hoping they'll change. I'd like to see a precursor base or two give off radiation until we deal with it. The ion crystals, for example, could be radiactive until we remove them and put them in a lead container (also giving us a use for lead).

lead is used for crafting nuclear fuel rods for your reactor

Did you remember to zip the suit?

this question believe it or not is very relevant to the game. hahaha

Yes, but that hardly justifies the entire resource in the game. There needs to be more use for it (as well as gold). I used a total of 3 lead on my last run. The proposal would both give us an additional use for the resource and a reason to keep the radition suit around past the first stage of the game.

Actually, Lifepod 17 has all 3 pieces, however, they dont have textures and look like swimming fins

fabrication machine fabricates the whole suit.
