shikidixi Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 With every update I get confused all over again augh! I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get a working exosuit dock/checkpoint set up... No matter what I do my dupes just don't seem to want to go through the exosuit checkpoints. If someone could provide me with a comprehensive guide on how the HECKE to set up a functioning exosuit checkpoint I would be eternally grateful. Like you'd think it'd be as simple as put dock next to exosuit checkpoint.... i really don't know what I'm doing so wrong but I'm not letting these tiny idiots anywhere near the scorching hot geyser until they put on their suits.

blash365 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 It's simple. You need two components. The exosuit checkpoint and the exosuit dock. You need to place the checkpoint at the entrance/exit of the area you want to have exosuit coverage in. The arrow of the checkpoint should point in that direction. At the other (the non-suit) side of the checkpoint you add the docks. Docks need to be supplied with oxygen and power. Also a suit has to be delivered to them once. Make sure that the checkpoint is the only way into your hazardous area and dupes will have to pass the checkpoint. Upon passing the checkpoints, dupes will put on a free exosuit from any of the adjacent docks. Simplest setup looks like this (sleeping zone: no-suit, rest of the map: suit): Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94899-kindly-explain-exosuits/#findComment-1078097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shikidixi Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Thats exactly how ive got it set up but they just Dont go through the checkpoint or load suits to the dock. Id say its a glitch but I've had this problem since exosuits came out Thank you for the answer though Edit; should clarify they have loaded the docks and gone through checkpoints but it only happens like once then even if i rebuild the whole structure they wont ever do it again Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94899-kindly-explain-exosuits/#findComment-1078098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blash365 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 If the dont deliver the suits, then nobody can go through the checkpoint. If there is a suit, it has to "charge" first. The green bar has to reach a certain value. The way back should always be possible. Maybe it is a good idea to share one of your screenshots so we can identify mistakes if there are any.

neoazureus Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 You can sweep one exosuit (priority 9 would help a lot) and a dupe will come to deliver it to dock. Edit: now you can store the exosuits into compactor, so if you have a compactor with exosuit selected, you need to use priority 6 in your dock (more than your compactor) and a dupe will deliver it Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94899-kindly-explain-exosuits/#findComment-1078258 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not only do what Neoazureus said, but also see what you have your Dupes set to, as far as priorities go. If you don't already, I'd suggest disabling Auto-Prioritize in the Jobs screen, enable Proximity in the Prioritize screen, then keep a few Dupes basically flat as far as priorities go while having a small handful specialized. (Cooks, Farmers, Ranchers, etc. Dupes that absolutely need to do their jobs to keep everyone alive.) I've found that when you specialize every Dupe, lots of the simpler tasks like Delivering don't get done.

babba Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Yeah, setting priority 9 and clicking on the suit delivery request button should work. Playing with 100 suit docks and always clicking 50 times on the delivery requester for missing suits is tedious with tons of suits laying around nearby ( my dupes die in waves of 10 or 20 every now and then). At some point I really need to build a graveyard for the 200 corpses laying around. "Man, people dying on doors is so frustrating, they jam up the mechanics " xD Also having a suit factory next to rows of docks helps with speedy dock reloading.

babba Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hey, thanks for being honest and spending the effort to provide the link...I had a look at the screenshots from the linked thread. I must say that my last played map at cycle 1000 with 114 dupes alive only had 50% of the detail work put in, compared to the linked thread. This game allows more and more creativity with every update coming. Its nice to see what other builds and make out of the game.
