Atmo Suit Swimming Dupes Pathing Behavior And maybe Slow Swimming

Please see Videos, 1 Video with Sena in a suit and 1 video with Sena without a Suit.

In Pools of Liquid with walkable tiles and ladders built in, Dupes in Atmo Suits would prefer to use ladders and tiles to walk on in liquids rather than just swim. They will swim if there are no ladders or tiles tho however, atmo suit dupes swim slower(i maybe wrong)  compared to no suits even tho my Sena in my video has Exosuit Training Skill her athletic is 23 


Steps to Reproduce

1. Have a dupe wear Atmo Suit

2. Move dupe in a pool of liquid

3. See Pathing

If I understand what you are highlighting in the video this is intended both that swimming in an atmosuit is slower than without (pre public beta there was a time it was WAY slower) and that pathfinding does take this into account trying to find a good path.

So The Pathfinding that dupes swimming in atmosuit walk on tiles in liquids is intended and is considered the best/good path for the Dupes in atmosuits? hmmm still kinda find it odd...

Thanks for clarifying tho.

Is it intentional that the pathfinding cost multiplier is much more unbalanced than the movement multiplier? GetSubmergedPathCostPenalty is x50 but the atmo suit swimming movement multiplier is only x0.3.
