MythN7 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Could you add a suit similar to the exo, but lower in the research chain to build. But the differences would be as such: -acts like the other 2 outfits, no oxygen tank or power needed. -in water movement would be just like the fireman's pole but flipped, so you can swim down really slow, but up really fast. -when no more than 2 tiles below oxygen tile you can breath threw your snorkel. -provides protection from getting the wet debuff -you move slow out of water cause of the flippers Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/88230-aqua-snorkeling-outfit/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpalerWrG Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Nice concept, an earlier means of avoiding wet de-buffs would be nice, and a means for dups to actually swim in water rather then just walk on the bottom would be very helpful too. I would like to use a checkpoint system on it, though it would not need the electrical and oxygen feeds it dose let us make sure that folks are suited before they jump in and get wet. The depth limit to snorkel should be ok so long as the Dups AI is smart enough to swim at that level and do any work they can reach from that point, only diving deeper as needed and returning to snorkel depth to breath.

ImpalerWrG Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I'd very much like to see them do some work without feet planted on the ground, see my Jet pack thread in which I'm looking for the same thing, I was thinking the snorkel/flipper suit would be the equivalent of 'hovering' in water allowing far more efficient work without all the ladders or the danger of drowning.

MythN7 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 Another idea could be that the exo suit cause of the ballon bubble air helmet could force the dup to float on the top most water tile, not letting them sink.

ImpalerWrG Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Forced floating would be counter productive as most work happens at the bottom of a body of water.
