Headlamp, Night Vision helmet

[neo5apien]

I understand the equippable gear feature isn't really implemented yet, but since y'all are working on it I though having upgraded helmets that grant a hands free light and later on night vision would be a welcome addition.

I mean, if The Survivor can build a warp capable battlecruiser, they should be able to see in the dark.

Quite right! And you're not the only one who thinks so.

I guess we just have to keep mentioning these things in hope that someone on the team notices when they have an open slot for adding something. I understand they have a full plate, but it would be nice if occasionally, there could be an offical acknowledgement that a suggestion has made it to the que.

the T2 weapons do not have built-in torches, which is a bit insane because the basic weapons have lights. And makes this request all the more valid.

I would prefer the light on the suit. That way when you are not wearing the helmet you still have light.

I agree about the weapons. Would not mind the long nights so much if I could at least see what is chewing on my ankles.

The dark is an immersive part and device of the galactic instadeath survival experience, but the way much higher and T2 stuff has no light is a bit curious.

I have a lot better idea: HOW IT WOULD BE IF these stupid DEV FINALLY THIS AUTOSAVE FUNCTION TURN OFF THE COMING WHEN THE GAME IS LEAVING !!!

Notnormally an issue here at all.
Maybe if we are patient and take notice
1. Early Access means we work together
2. If you don't rely on autosave and save at intervals all games work just fine
3. If you load the game just below the autosave in the list, it will be your last manual save
4. If point 3 makes very little sense, see point #1

But it's true you need really a device to be able to see at night.

+1

I agree, but in the meantime, you can use your drone (F5) for mining and construction in the dark. Not much use for combat, though.

+1 I can't stand bumbling around dark forests where those bloody hard to see anyway spiders hide behind bushes to gank me, having a nightvison helmet makes sense and would be a great help to surviving early days when you have no transport and useless T1 handgun.

Yes I thought that was a bit daft myself. I was hoping they might add infrared scope to weapons at some point so we can see targets better in tunnels/dark forest etc on zoom mode.

YES! Please, DEAR GOD, add helmet lights and/or night vision. The only other game to have such shamefully primitive lighting is DOOM 3. Give us the Duct Tape Mod!!!!!

Thanks so much Devs for doing this.
