A request for parachutes

[asbrainiac]

I waste about 3 parachutes for every one I use intentionally due to accidentally hitting the jump button right before I touch the ground. I jump around a lot, yes.

All I'm asking for is that there be some logic in the game that prevents the use of parachutes if you're closer to the ground than your maximum jump height.

That is all.

Separate button for parachute would work too. I'd rather have it on Use if it should double some action allready in but assigning unused key for parachute opening would be ideal.

I have the same problem with parachutes so I stopped using them entirely. Something I'd like to see, or sounds reasonable would be to set it so pressing and holding shift mid jump activates the parachute.

Self-control?

[Man's Best Friend]

Better logic might just be that they can only deploy if you're high enough to cause damage.

[zverozvero]

It can mess with gliding from relatively safe elevation to cross few safe-ish bumps and larger chasm further on the route. Specially with Blade runners on when 'safe' becomes quite high.
Toying with parachute is rather fun and making controlls restrictive could take away from it. Only problem is having it on jump button.

Not to mention some may use the "gooey" landing platform and not need a parachute.

Assuming they hit the bullseye and not miss. >.>;;;;

I don't make them for this reason. Jumping around in this game is fun but I waste too many parachutes as a result. Separate keybind would be great.

I've taken to sliding under belts for this very reason. Now I rarely use parachutes while in my base. I had one instance where I had removed them from the Back slot and placed them in the inventory, only to almost die from fall damage jumping down off a high ledge.

You can grab a power line with the zipline when falling full speed.
