Exosuit Naming

[Riph]

Is it too late to call the exosuits something else? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the idea that we can finally make environment suits for our dupes.  They address a ton of problems and I'm super happy this happened.

I have only one problem. By calling it an exosuit, we create a naming collision because now there's no good word for these things:

And try and tell me you don't want those things in ONI.  You can't. Everyone wants an environment suit which also increases carrying capacity. It's exactly what our miners and builders need, particularly when we're building bridges and projects far from home.

In all seriousness, I feel like "exosuit", like "exoskeleton" implies something rigid, with either armor, motor assist, or both. The item we're seeing in-game appears much more flexible and comfortable, more like a modern diving suit or hazmat suit.

Your thoughts?

Well, you could always refer to the type that enhances strength as "power suit" or "hydraulic suit", but yes, hazmat would serve better here

[Yoonizar]

"Exo" means "outer", or "external", not "hard", that means "exosuit" is a suit that covers your outer body, yes, pretty much like hazmat suit. But maybe Klei is being creative and tried to make something different, pretty cool, though.

Hazmat suits aren't known for their ability to withstand pressure and water though nor do they enhance digging ability and collect urine.
Exosuit is the best description for what they are.

Just call this one exosuit, and the current one can be renamed to endo-exosuit.
