First time doing jetpacks - they're awesome

To hell with ladders

Sure they are useull but they have 2 major downsides:

They cause heavy lag in open areas, because the pathfinding routine will ho haywire. 

Dupes may be stuck somewhere, when run out of fuel. There is, as far as i know, no check if there is enough fuel for coming back.

They are nice for cleaning biomes, i use them a lot tô catch slime for the mushrooms

I've just experienced this myself and I somewhat regret using them now, but it'd be so cumbersome to go back to normal exo suits.

I like using them to build the fist structures in space and then I regrettably have to break them down because of lag. They are indeed awesome.

They also emit a ton of hot CO2. By the time I noticed it when I first used them, everything outside the sealed part of my base was 90°C CO2 or higher and I kept wondering why it became like that.

Sounds like a good slickster fuel.

use it only to regret it later. the lag is real.

7 months, 3 updgrades, pathing 'optimization' later and Jet Suits are still in this state.
