Hazmat on Genesis?

[Dead by Dawn]

Is literally the only way to enter the lunar biome to rely on a random drop from a quest? I can't craft it. What terrible design.

The assumption is that you progressed through abberation already...

You can if you came from Aberration with the engram, there are gems in the ocean and gas on the moon. There's also pre-crafted hazard pieces that drop as rewards.

I also just discovered this mod that I might use on some future playthrough, looks pretty simple, seems to work as expected: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2020317130

It's not like you have to have hazard gear to enter the lunar biome, it's just nice to have, you can wear cloth if you bring a stack of tintoberry healing potions.

why cant you craft it ? can get gems in the ocean biome .
its not the only way to survive on lunar , during the early morning hours you can go there in fur armor .

Yeah I'm going to have to go this route I suppose. It's really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ design to do it this way on the dev's part.

My group of friends rent a server, beat the map's bosses on alpha, and are done until the next map releases. I know we are definitely in the majority of players as well who do this.

The Radiation Damage will never exceed a Healing Brew + a 30 Element Dust Crafted Drink healing. I went there in Primitive Fur Armor and using Fria Curry + Dust Drink countered the Freezing Damage too

Edit: do the mushrooms block radiation? Havent tried it because I think its solar damage not specifically Radiation?

I'mma do some testing with the mushroom broths.

Ascerbic mushies provided a limited protection against radiation. You had to eat a stupid amount though

the radiation is different it burns , dont make you sick .

I've gone to the lunar with 100 fort and some cold resist gear, not top notch but enough that I'm fine. Radiation? Head to shadows, be inventive.
Adaptation is part of the challenge.

"Adaptation is part of the challenge."

this. thats what the dlc is pretty much about. adapt and thrive, if you know the biomes and their dangers/Advantages, you can really thrive in Genesis. If you dont, learning by dying/getting hurt.

Its hard at the start, but once you know your way around, its top of the food chain for ya.

Yep for example ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about there is no place to build in the ocean.

There is plenty of space. but it is underwater, not on the islands

Genesis doesn't have the Aberration engrams enabled, so fresh characters are ♥♥♥♥ out of luck unless they find them from a drop or quest reward. That's the issue the OP is having.

Its a strangely arbitrary design choice for sure. If its assumed the player has played the other maps then why lock them out of the engram? All that means is they can't respec on that map and are forced to hop between them just to relearn them.

And that only really applies to officials anyway, since you can use mods or even simply spawn them in otherwise.

Not entirely so, you have a few starting resources to pick from - bushes n trees - then you can teleport to the bog or even lunar briefly to grab stone to get the startup.
Dieing is apart of the game, and building on the ocean isnt out of the question as there are a few spots, and when you get the engram and resources a grapple hook opens up the map.
