Ruby Thing, Storm Death, Why??

[TinRoofRusted]

I don't have the DLC yet but was playing and got to the point where i got this Ruby thing that you put on a rover and you are supposed to drive into a storm to collect data, i drove into the storm and it killed me, like almost instantly, popped me out of the rover and died next to it. Why?? I had a portable oxygenator and RTG's on my backpack so i know i didn't suffocate, and now the rover i was on and all my stuff is stuck in the storm and i can't go back in and get it because again i just die upon entering.

What's the point of this Ruby thing if you insta-die when going into the storm to try and use it??

No amount of protection will help you when inside the storm. It has nothing to do with oxygen, being in a vehicle, or even having snails. You are being hacked which (my theory) means that your backpack gets hacked and you lose all functionality of the backpack and anything on it. Look closely right above your head when you enter the storm. You'll see what starts off as a white "ball". It fills clockwise and when it's full, you are hacked.

You should be able to stay in the storm for a good 10 or so seconds before being completely hacked, so run in, do what you need to do and then run out. Your health insta resets as soon as you leave the storm. Rinse/repeat.

i definitely dont want this dlc. what a stupid game mechanic.

Even without the DLC you get the storms on planets other then Sylva. I didn't have the DLC when i died.

Just started playing the DLC, its nice it creates a new save after going through the portal. So i can pop back to my other save and continue playing there when i want.

Yup, you will now see a purple icon next to the save to differenciate between old/new.
