Jet Packs

[ImpalerWrG]

Are you ever annoyed at the need to build temporary ladder scaffolding in tall rooms so your dups can reach the ceiling, or dups get stuck on some side of a 2 tile wide gap while mining, or that some piece of frost wheat has fallen down a deep hole.

Well be anoyed no longer with JET PACKS, the amazing new late game technology item that lets your dups hover, fly short distances and generally eliminate all those little inconveniences of pathing that while interesting in the early game are just a hassle late game.  Made at the Exo-suit force (perhaps remained to the Outfitting Forge) these Packs are made with refined Tungston and Bleachstone.  They are built once and then assigned to individual Dups like clothing, they must then be charged with liquid Petroleum at a new structure called a Jet Pack charging station, individual Dups will exchange a depleted pack for a charged one at the station if they are assigned a pack so a surplus of packs is ideal.  Exosuits and Jet Packs can be used at the same time.

That's much less cool in my opinion.  If you want something like that a go with a Mecha type suit like the one from Alien which could hugely increases strength, mining and maybe do things like let them build/dig 2 tiles at the same time or something suitably OP.

Edited recipe to use Bleach stone in construction rather then as fuel.
