Oxygen Mask Dock Feedback

[augustinoi]

hi, i take a look on Mask dock, and think there are some modifications that make a early game thing in a all game use thing. 

1. Crafting Station can only use by operators.

2. Oxygen mask dock not need to use pipes.

instead of it need to manually be filled by operators.

3. do not receive slow debuf.

4. do not receive temperature buff like atmo suit

5. have half of capacity of atmo suit air tank. 

i hope this is a good idea. becouse this dock sould be placed anywhere easly

Manual oxygen delivery would be nice. The masks already look like they have an oxygen canister attached. It would also give another reason to build a canister filler (other being the soda machine).

That's the way they used to work when first introduced.  Dupes would pull a mask out of the station, which would suck in all surrounding oxygen to fill the mask, no pipes necessary.  It's too bad they changed them, because the infrastructure needed to filter and pipe in oxygen means you're better off skipping straight to exosuits.

Not exactly. The station sucked the nearby oxygen, the idea is for dupes to deliver it from the canister filler. The latter is better as it gives you more control over the atmosphere and gives more reasons for the canister filler to exist.
