Glassyfo Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Dupes seem to treat them as the same thing; all the jet suits being used means the exo suit dupes walk right past the checkpoint, and on the way back they drop off their exo suits. Is there a way to use them both? Or is it one or the other only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neotuck Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Why use both? The jet suit is just an upgraded exo suit. be pointless to have them both on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get to the jet suit my dupes travel outside my base wearing exo suits. I just need a way to avoid having them drop their exo suits if they go back through the jet suit checkpoint.

This ahould fix the issue of them going to the wrong checkpoint. Deafult is "clearance always" allowing them to pass and just leaving suits on the ground. It`s confusing as the button shows the other setting than the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pathfinding-related lag aside, dupes wearing them move at about half the speed of a dupe in an atmo suit. I don't think obviating ladders makes up for this.

They made the space paths not loop around which reduced the lag and changed their bahaviour a bit: now they use ladders and often walk when they don`t need to fly (not always though). I prefer to have 3 of those for constructing bunker doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you chose "Leave Empty" then when a dupe wearing a suit passes it, they'll take the suit off and hang it up, and put it on when they come back through. So, have an atmo suit dock, checkpoint, jetsuit dock, checkpoint, and the dupe will take off the atmo suit, put on the jet suit, take care of business, then reverse the procedure. However, all that suit switching takes time, so I do it your way: Tube to the jet suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jet suit is useful for dupes working inside a rocket silo, at least. Otherwise I generally prefer atmo suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make a transit tube from your main base to the jet suit room. And put a water airlock on the entrance incase of emergencies where you run out of power. So the dupes don't suffocate.
