The jet suits are amazing, we no longer have to build space ladders.

[lunazone]

Duplicants can now fly around to build stuff, instead of having to build a million ladders in the space biome to move around.

[InternetGuy]

To meep and beyond!

[GrindThisGame]

They are pretty freaking awesome.

Clearly the best content of this patch.

Do they only work in space?

As you can see, the second picture shows the dirt/copper biome as background. So I assume it could work here too

would be nice to avoid ladder everywhere...might make for faster exploration, if they dont require rocket-only resources

they need petroleum and oxygen

might make me move oil/petroleum to early game; currently the last thing I do in build priorities for base setup

[harmonium]

I can see a mod coming with unlimited fuel, would be fun

I'd concur, if it was not for the Robo-Miner~

[kolyapedal]

for those who haven't seen yet. Seems like not so fast

 

[RonEmpire]

is there a docking station for them?

[harmonium]

Yes with oxygen gas and petroleum pipe

[Saturnus]

Seems like it's considerably slower than dupes running on tiles or climbing ladders, and it costs petroleum to use. Question really is, in my opinion, is it useful in any way. Tubes for all their flaws have two useful applications; a) to connect to oil wells and b) to access hermetically sealed areas. So what use does the jet suit have?

[harmonium]

With a mod than can be usefull yes, without i doubt.

this is extremely helpful even without mods, being able to get to hard to reach places without wasting time building up ladders

I have no use for that because I plan ahead when I play.

[kolyapedal]

One option: for jet-flying in a ice-biom to collect wheat. to build nothing inside and to prevent melting. That's the first thing I thought about

[goboking]

Why do the thrusters come out of the helmet?

[Saturnus]

Oh, another question. Does flatulent dupes recharge the jet pack by themselves?

Nice, I have a lot of petroleum from my boiler. I would use the jet pack for dig all the map without building ladders

[kolyapedal]

smth like that

Yes, that illustrates my point with it being mostly useless quite well. At the time they have a relevant use case, pretty early game, you do not have access to them, and by the time you do have access to them, you have no need for them.

I can't agree more...for me is useless...
