Jetpack is better in every way than the Hoverpack - change my mind

[Grish]

As per title the Jetpack is better in every way than the Hoverpack which is a much later tier item...

Jetpack is better for exploring, hover pack is better for building
The hover pack has infinite flight and can remain stable, plus it has increased interact range

"Change my mind"

No - You fail to understand what each is for - They don't compete

They serve different tasks - You change YOUR mind

Sounds more like you need your diaper changed.

But you can just hover... at any height.... forever :) . Have you ever tried to connect a cable to a wall outlet while tapping the jet pack thruster 200 feet above the ground its irritating and unnecessary because you got the hover pack. THATs what the hover pack is for. The jet packs for throwing yourself long distances at higher speeds. Its suited for inddor/outdoor jump pads and crossing open terrain. The Hover packs for building and surveying easily at height. They have 2 totally distinct uses lol.

Careful rawdog ... i said something similar to a player and got in trouble

[The Big Brzezinski]

Zipline beats both.

Hoverpack was added as a build tool because players said there is no overview when building from the ground. I still remember the discussions on the qa forum.

Jetpack was in the game before that, made to traverse up and down, but wasn't stable enough for building.

Now you have a choice what to use.

I use all three of those methods. Always got a jetpack in my pocket to swap out every time I wanna move quicker. I use hovers to builder power lines and cut my thrust to fall onto and zip across a power line to cross an area without using fuel. Theyre all awesome. I mean we might as well be arguing that you dont need grenades because the rifle can kill everything. I LOVE GRENADES!

Hah thanks people, yes I use the hover pack but the jet pack is just way more fun to speed around your base with.

Jet pack for exploring , hover pack for building factories.

Remember, the sprint button works while hovering.

Hover pack is best as you can remain airborne, quicker and easier to build while using it, explore quickly and safely by laying power lines as you fly, once you have the hover you can fotget using legs ever again

Or explore while laying train tracks, and get a free train network as a bonus.

A faster hover pack for 1000 tokens in the awesome shop would be a cool toy to have in game
