The legend says that it's the only video on YouTube where you can see someone use a jetsuit in Oni

The little dupe in the radiation suit slowly shimmying up the ladder at the end is adorable.

"it's unclear if this is intended or not"

it is infinite oxygen

[YoursTruly]

This guy has me opening 20+ tabs looking at all his tutorial bites. Jeez

Also keep in mind a key difference between lead and atmo suits are the skills they give.
Atmo suits give +10 to excavation
Lead suits give +10 to strength
Depending where you're at in the game it might be beneficial to switch your atmo suits to lead suits for the added strength instead of 10 + Excavation especially if you're the type of player to completely core out your asteroids.

Imagine being 3 ft tall and having to wear a 50 kg iron mask with 20 kg of oxygen inside...

[fjshdf]

Gyms are a good idea. I've just been blocking the door access to the base exits and letting take care of tasks inside the base, but the gym would probably get them up to speed faster

[mrjblacc]

The timer sensor is not needed on the gym, dupes will stop running when their work shift is over. But it is helpful if you also want them to do other tasks.

Many thanks. I build an oxygen suit station and many atmo suits and i was wondering why it didn't work...

[Zay_Jay]

For drecko farms, it is better to make the room vertical, so the dreckos spend more time in hydrogen.

[kerr]

I've had dupes pass checkpoints wearing the wrong type of suits... IE, oxygen mask past atmo suit dock.

[karel_price]

4:05 what are the differences of making the atmo suit from the different refined metals?

[aky]

Very well explained, very clear tutorial ! Keep going !

[izPhil]

I'm having problems. I set up my stations exactly like yours exact same permissions and everything. Everything is hooked up like you said building is enabled. Everything I can think of that could prevent them going through is fixed. My dupes still refuse to go through. I can't find any info anywhere online about how and why this would be happening.

[MrBradleyearl]

so jet packs are terrible. they expel co2. and most of the time u want a vacume and doing so much automation with rails and what not that theres no way to let a dup have unlimited pathing.

[weltraumvogel]

@1:05 from a FPS/pathfinding perspective you want to lock doors instead of disabling access.

[Khitiara_]

i wish there was a clearance mode to let suited dupes pass without removing their suits for use with spaced out rockets, so that dupes servicing a rocket can do so properly without leaving the dock in the rocket empty

[Renegade-Master-]

I have two banks of exo suit docs one level above the other, the dupes are constantly dumping their suits rather than put them in the empty slot in the row above. Is there any way to stop this behaviour its infuriating? Im using Vancancy Only, but there dont seem to be any other settings.

[sham]

Does the material matter much when making the suits?

[Sotanaht]

2:15 the 10 suit limit would only apply if dupes were wearing suits 24 hours a day. The suits must be docked to charge however, so even if you use scheduling to ensure your dupes are always working at all hours, you still would not be able to fully utilize a set of 10 suits throughout the day. Therefor in practice a single pipe can support more than 10 suits depending on the percentage of downtime for each suit on average.
