Atmo Suit Swimming Dupes Pathing Behavior And maybe Slow Swimming

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.

What about jumping from liquid to liquid while wearing an atmo suit? Is that intended too?

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.
