crew dying cause of bad ai on dugong, help tips please?

[MythN7]

so the 2 compartments on the top most floor of the dugong near its exit are not given air, and the doors auto close, but the AI like to hang out here where parked at stations. i just lost my captain to suffication.

is this a bug?

No, it is not a bug. It is a vanilla submarine you are supposed to either watch closely or rewire to your liking. And, mind you, Dugong is by no means for beginners, it's meant for experienced players who want an extra challenge.

You have oxygen sensors and other stuff to make it work the way you want. I just wired the door to the right to open when oxygen level drops below 45%. Wired an extra light to flash when oxygen is below 60% as well, just for aesthetics. That was done right after i lost an assistant who suffocated next to the diving locker. I do care for my crew even if they are bots :)

Should i provide you with the exact wiring, or will you figure it out yourself?

Edit: For clarity - this is not an AI bug, you where controlling the bot the moment he suffocated. If you didn't, he would run to the next room or put on the diving mask, provided you gave him one.

Just download the better dugong mod, it fixes this issue and adds fabricators so the dugong can be competitive with later game subs.

What? The Dugong is a starter sub and is extremely easy to manage.

The stock Dugong has a few annoying shortcomings, I wouldn't class it as an easy sub for a beginner, Humpback is far better. There are probably a hundred modified versions (or more) in the Workshop to choose from!

Personally I never experienced the lack of oxygen in the upper rooms by the airlock, the Dugong was my first sub in the game and I ran it for quite a while in the single player campaign, I don't remember any of my crew ever suffocating or even complaining about low oxygen up there.

Captain suffocated due to low oxygen, but that was because I forgot to load uranium into reactor, so... yeah... nice start of the game though XD
