Will Away Team have perma-death?

[Nascarlaser1]

Does anyone know if Away Team will feature perma-death like most Klei games? I assume so, based off ONI/DS+DST, but want to be sure. ONI has been the only game ever where I can enjoy perma-death , but hopefully Away Team will be a 2nd

In ONI, dupes can be replaced via the printing pod, which makes loss more like resource turnover than a hard fail state.

So Away Team will more likely follow that model too: some form of loss, but with re-printing/recruitment as the main way to recover rather than strict permadeath.

Thank you!

What I meant by perma-death was if all dupes dying would=restarting from scratch, but this is useful to know too! ❤️
