Rapid depletion of oxygen and filling of the waste container. Quick death

[Digiscz]

I don't know what's going on, suddenly my oxygen started to decrease rapidly and the waste container was filling up. The suit is fine, I made a new one. It says oxygen critical, and it's half the tank. I'll be dead in no time.

Lol sounds like you accidentally put a oxygen filter in your suit instead of co2.

And in case my lol is not laughing at you but with you because we've all been down this deadly road.

Me I had issue with oxygen and waste tank but thats because I was cooking myself in 5700 celsius gas heat. Like 3-4 days ago and yes 5700 celsius.

The original filters are there, from the beginning of the game

Lool well is it possible they at 0% They don't last that long if it's the default ones.

See if this helps, a long thread but covers this pretty good.

I already know what happened. Europe - 130°C I have to drink with the helmet open, harmful gases get into my space suit, so I empty it on the helmet and my oxygen freezes and after a while I finish. But I don't know how to fix it.

You need a controlled temp room where you can safely drink and eat.

You die because you have frozen your lungs from opening the helmet.

When you start first thing you do is building a small emergency shelter and making breathable condition in it. Even before you care about energy or anything else, otherwise you are risking not to make it on time before dehydration kills you.

Europe is challenging in the beginning, you must be quick.

I like to make an airlock right from the start, can be done just with wall panels and you can build frames around it later. I'll make a 1 x 2 room (so I have room to bring in a few items), add the active vent with a couple of pipe sections, bring in some power for the devices but won't hook up the airlock control. Once the room is sealed, I use the O2 tank to get a minimal atmosphere and then drop a flare to warm up the room if needed. Eat & drink as necessary, then when ready to exit I'll manually work the active vent to reclaim the O2 into the pipes to re-use on the next visit. Then just use the door controls to enter/exit once all the O2 has been stored. You may need to add a pollutants filter to your suit since flares will create the gas and build up over time if you take too long to get up and running.

This can be repeated until I get greenhouse and airlock fully functioning. Having just the wall panels as the airlock allows me to freely access both sides of the walls for adding devices and wiring as necessary until built out as I need.

Hope this tip helps someone.

Open helmet at - 160 degrees or other unhealty conditions ? Yes of course. Everyone is doing so...I am courious how you would do it on Venus or Vulcan ??

yea without consequences it works on mars (in game, not in reality) so people are maybe tending to try abusing it on other planets where it does has consequences. On venus you would probably also get lungs damaged but perhaps not die instantly as you would in reality.
