Why no gloves?

[BlueWolf]

Does anyone else find it odd that a research team working in arctic conditions doesn't wear gloves as part of their standard enviro suit? I live in a cold climate myself. It doesn't take long for exposed skin to become frostbitten, especially in windy areas.

They are most likely Russians. ;-)

All these years, swimming in the Volga like it's a summer lake...

It didn't make much sense in the original Subnautica, either.

You mean like the gloves on the Cold Suit that's not in the game yet?

Yes but just on the regular enviro wet suit. It just seemed odd to me that this crew is in an arctic zone on a permanent basis and their basic kit doesn't have gloves.

Minor gripe I know. Just wanted to know if there was a reason why.

As background info - in the original game the devs wanted to give us swim gloves with webbed fingers to provide a small boost to swim speed.

It was deemed unnecessary and cut from the roadmap (tho the Radiation Suit and Reinforced Dive Suit both come with built-in gloves).

Agree it makes more sense in the cold environment but I think you can rationalize it as another reason your character would want to craft a Cold Suit a.s.a.p.

Being cut off from the first base by the avalanche, she may not have been planning on spending very much time out in the cold when she left the base - and certainly didn't plan on having to go swimming.

And currently we are just using the basic model. Just like the first game. Pretty sure this is as naked as this model gets and is it's default state. Before the actual crafted clothing is added in durring development we are just 'default' so there aren't glove since the default is based on subnauticas base models. (Which probably also should have had gloves like previously stated but don't so here we are.)

I've spawned the Cold Suit in before the last update - the cold effects were… getting a bit too dramatic.l

You still get the frost around the edge of your mask, but not the pounding heartbeat.

Hopefully you can find it properly before too long.

Can't get woke if you don't know it's a strong black woman.

Gloves and hats are so often are missing in games (and movies and tv for that matter).

You need to see the hands to show your playing a black female. Otherwise someone might think the protagonist is white, causing SJW-Outrage.

[miklkit]

OTOH showing the hands of a black female causes much alt-right outrage, which is lots more fun!

[Cougarific]

OTOH = "on the other hand": in discussion about gloves...priceless.

They were crying last SN character was a bit too sun-tanned for their tastes as well. Just that bit obsessed with pixel-people's complexions, for some inexplicable reason..

gloves?... What about missing a proper evening dress and a proper dish with light candles.. I'm tired of fish diet of omega 3
