New item suggestion: Survival backpack

[fatman_n]

In "thermal upgrade" we've now got three types of clothing, which is fantastic! I Will take it a little further to suggest a backpack with some necessary survival equipment. A portable oxygen tank with mask, some food and a sleeping bag, so that by traveling far away in from the base, the dupes won't run forward, dig one block, and then running back, but actually stay out there doing what they are told to do.

I thinking that the 'in game mechanism' for using this kit can be when a dupe are more than 40 blocks from his base, (the base is where its bed is). And now you may think, but a base could be more than 40 blocks big, what happens then. This is how I think. The bed is center. it has a radius of 10 blocks. if there is built a new building inside this radius, that new block will increase the radius of the hole base with another 10 blocks, from the basis of this new block. I will attach a drawing, which illustrate this, since I am certain this is confusing to read ^^,

This is actually a really in depth suggestion for a very simple concept. BRILLIANT! And the illustration is really nice. This would be a welcome addition to the game!

I´m been thinking too about something similar, but only with the okygen tank. Anyway your suggestion is good far better. ^^
