pathing inside luquid pool


Recommended Posts

There seems to be a limited distance from the entry point to a body of water where the game will decide a task is no longer reachable.  You can usually get around this for Dig tasks by selecting a Dupe and ordering them to move to a position close by, but it is harder to finagle for Build tasks due to the need for resources.  When ordered to move, a Dupe will drop whatever it is holding, and as such cannot easily deliver to such a location.

I wish they should have changed that... I mean there is no maximum distance for a Gaz, so why should there be for liquids -__-'

Ideally they would split up the functions of the current Exosuit.  Have a basic one that is little more than an air tank, available earlier than the current version.  Have a middle tier with a few varieties of Suit.  Heat, Cold, Germ resistance, etc.  This middle tier would include a Scuba Suit, allowing Dupes to reliably navigate water.  And the final tier would be for the Surface and Rockets, a full blown Space Suit.

well that much is pretty realistic - dupes wouldn't be able to go underwater w/o suit cause of the pressure.

Waterpressure is like 0.10bar/10meter water above....so well... I think the real question is why can't they swim?:wilson_wink:

And yet another point to add to the silly game physics of ONI.

I pretty much gave up questioning it when I wondered how dupes breath pure oxygen without their lungs burning (that's what would happen if humans did that)

And yet they have no problem dealing with the negitive pressure of a vacuum

Haha:wilson_ecstatic:...but that would certainly not happen...just breathing pure oxygen doesn't incinerate your lungs. But over time it harms you in other ways, so yes it would kill.:wilson_laugh: but valid point imo breathing a mix of gases would be more realistic.

Spoiler

It just came to my mind but it's too far off topic. Devs should let them breath whatever is there around them and let the dupe ''react'' to it(get sickly, light headed, etc)

Would be a cool gameplay idea imo.:wilson_vforvictory:

Swimming would require a certain amount of intelligence, my dupes at least, have barely have enough skill to walk, let alone swim!

True...they sink like a stone. Its like Hook, line, sinker

No it doesn't.  Patients in hospitals are given pure oxygen all the time.  The apalo space program initially filled the capsule with pure oxygen until a spark ignited it and burned the crew alive.  Scuba divers not going very deep use pure oxygen since it lasts longer, but becomes toxic at higher pressures so deep divers have to dilute it with nitrogen and later helium.

Ok I don't know were you got your information but first off patients in hospitals on O2 are never given "pure" O2,  Most of the time the O2 from tanks are allowed to dilute in the air before patients inhale them.  In extreme cases for patients under critical condition they are fed a mix of 95% O2 and 5% CO2, but this is meant for short term until the patients stabilize.

It is true that during the Apollo program astronauts breathed pure O2 but this was before NASA learned about the toxic effect of long term O2 effects on the body.  Today astronauts only breath pure O2 for a few hours before going out on a spacewalk to purge their body of nitrogen which is deadly at negative pressures.  The number of spacewalks are limited in order to prevent oxygen toxicity

I am a scuba diver so I already know that is a myth

shallow divers ALWAYS use normal compressed air

While it's true deep divers will use a mix of helium and O2, they NEVER use nitrogen due to the high risk of getting nitrogen narcosis which is both very painful and potentially deadly to divers

I make medical equipment for a living.  The pipes all over the hospital are carrying 100% pure O2.  The only diluting it gets is in the space between the canula or facemask and when the patient actually inhales it.

I did look up oxygen toxicity though and though I could have sworn it only was a problem at higher pressures, apparently it is a problem even at normal pressure.
