Suit Bug? Temperature and Pressure regulation.
I am sort of a newb, but since the last update, when I try to change to a new suit/helmet/tank, my temperature/pressure goes nuts, and my suit can't regulate it. My helmet is closed, I flushed it, suit/helmet not damaged. I have empty waste tank, full oxygen tank with 100% O2 and 3000 kPa, tanks not damaged, full batt, and a CO2 filter 100%. I have the suit internals set to ON (so they display OFF with mouseover).

Is something broken here?

The target temp is 20 C, but my internal temp goes to -40/-30 C on europa. Pressure target is 50 kPa, matched. But when I tried to raise target temp higher in an attempt to compensate, then it couldn't keep the pressure and that started spazzing out.

Help?

Edit: Apparently, the temperature of the oxygen canister matters, as well as the environmental Temp/Pressure. Then, due to the mysterious internal control system mechanics of the suit regulation algorithm, it gets into an oscillatory death spiral trying to manage both temp and pressure, over-correcting... or something. Please correct me if I'm overthinking this. Anyway, I heated up an O2 canister to 50 C instead of -150 C and now regulation is working alright.

Well, what did you think would happen trying to put -150C oxygen through a tiny suit environmental control to get to +20?
Best write this down in your personal "What could possibly go wrong?"-book of Stationeers and keep going. We all do. :D

Getting tanks up to a workable temp is best done before you need them. I run my spares through an AC-Scrubber-canister system and get them to 20C of pure O. I am really not sure what the max/min is or how it differs per environment.

The temperature of the tanks and canisters do matter. With that being said, I keep all of my O2 bottles in lockers outside on the moon. I have yet had a problem with them being too cold when I put them in my suit. But Europa has a cold temp outside where the Moon has nothing.

But yes, you are supposed to keep your tanks and canisters at room temp. Especially the oxygen ones you put in your suit.

Now pressurize a room with below freezing O2 and see what happens...

Especially when you warm it up with road flares...

The Moon has nothing outside of controlled atmos, but filling tanks like H2O or O or several things will have a temp around -150C if you are just furnace to canister/tank.
