Oxygen Suit

Four-piece armour that doubles as personal life support on airless worlds. Two tiers, plus two Tier-2-class hazard variants for the extreme worlds.

Overview#

Wearing the full set (all four pieces) keeps you breathing off-world by draining a finite air tank instead of suffocating. The tank refills instantly in any breathable zone (oxygen field, terraformed ground, launch-pad safe zone) — and, since the suit-and-station integration, also at airlocks (below).

A mixed T1/T2 set still works as life support but counts as Tier 1 for tank size and refill speed. Any missing piece = no life support.

Hazard variants — Thermal & Cryo Suits#

Cindara is hot and Glacira is cold: unprotected, the planetary hazard makes your suit work overtime — oxygen drains at 4× the normal rate (there's no separate damage; running dry is still the danger). The HUD badge warns with a red HEAT! / COLD! while you're exposed, with ember puffs (Cindara) or a creeping frost vignette (Glacira) as feedback.

The shield engages only when all four pieces match the hazard; the HUD badge then shows SUIT HEAT / SUIT COLD and oxygen drains at the normal 1× rate. Mixing variant pieces with other Tier 2 pieces keeps Tier-2 capacity — you just lose the hazard shield.

Progression note#

Cindrite (Thermal) is mined on Cindara itself, so the usual loop is: dash in a plain Tier 2 suit, mine your first cindrite, then craft the Thermal Suit for serious expeditions. The same applies to glacite and the Cryo Suit on Glacira.

Airlock refill#

Within a few blocks (default 3, oxygenAirlockRadius) of a Gas Tank or Oxygen Generator holding Oxygen, a worn suit refills its air from that store — each air unit drains gas (default 5 mB, oxygenAirlockMbPerAir). A Gas Tank at the base entrance therefore acts as an airlock: step inside, top up, head back out. The Creative Gas Tank works too.

Obtaining#

Tier 1 (shaped, nerosteel): helmet NNN / NGN (G = Glass visor), chestplate N N / NCN / NNN (C = Rocket Fuel Canister life-support core), leggings and boots all-nerosteel.

Tier 2 (shaped): each Tier 1 piece surrounded by 4 Cindrite —

. C .
C P C
. C .

P = the matching Tier 1 piece · C = Cindrite

Cindrite only mines on Cindara (Tier 3 rocket, itself gated on Station Wall), so the Tier 2 suit sits at the same progression depth as the Tier 3 rocket.
