Exosuit engineer not required to operate

Exosuits can be used by anydupe. Exosuit Engineer only allows Dupes to ignore the penalties of the suits. This is not a bug.

Every dupe (beside the ones with the no-build-trait) can build things. You dont have to give them architect. 

Ever dupe (beside the ones with no-cook-trait) can cook.

The list goes on and on.

If something requires a certain profession, the game tells you. Exosuits do not.

 

But there is a very simple solution for your problem.

Get rid of the checkpoint (its useless for your task), and just build a door. Does not matter what kind of door. Klick it, and forbid passing for everyone, but the 2 you want to. Problem solved. (funfact: If its the exit of your base, make all the dupes forbidden to exit, but allow to enter. At some point, some dupe may exit the base at a differen location. That way, he can probably come back in)

Wait, so training the skill and spending all of the qol upgrades is just to make them move faster in it?  Wow.  I wonder why I never noticed this in my last world before EU.

I meant the checkpoint that makes them put on the exosuit.
