Breathing on the Moon?

Really kind of lame to limit the exploration aspect to 3 bosses into the game. Really should be able to craft some kind of air tank from the get go.

 

You only start getting near modern tech near tier 4 or so.

 

Air trouble only affects ateroid belts and moons, you still have plenty of places to go.

 

Than might as well not have moons in the first 3 sectors since you can't explore them, from time to time I like to hit up a random moon just to spice things up but now, you can't until you get 4 sectors in.

 

doesn't stop you from going back to them later on

 

The two helmets that require matter blocks do NOT provide air.
The air tank on your back has this status effect: "breathprotection"

As of right now the only other armor in the game to have this effect is: ./items/armors/decorative/developers/kyren/kyren.head

Source:
assets> grep -rin breathprotection .
./augments/breathprtection.augment:2: "name" : "breathprotection",
./augments/breathprtection.augment:6: { "kind" : "breathprotection" }
./items/armors/backitems/spacetank/spaceairtank.back:14: "kind" : "breathprotection"
./items/armors/decorative/developers/kyren/kyren.head:28: "kind" : "breathprotection"
./statuseffects/breathprotection.statuseffect:2: "kind" : "breathprotection"[/CODE]

 

Except there is no reason to go back to lower sectors when there are plenty of moons in the sector you gained the ability to explore said airless environments.

 

I solved this problem by appending the breathprotection quality to the lantern on a stick.

 

Better yet, lets remove moons and asteroids completely from the game!

 

Adding a low level rudimentary breathing device seems like the best solution. Something that merely extends breath, and not grant indefinite air.
So players can scout moons and asteroids a bit. Id hate to see even less biome diversity in the early game.

 

i have ever crafting station in the game that i can think of. . i have all star maps up to Sector X
and i dont see any airtank recipe

 

New crafting and drops only appear on new characters as far I know.

 

Krentaris .. ty so much for that video .. i did everything that was in that video .. remade the MK 4 .. and still it wont give me the patteren .. but after reading up .. i guess its because i didnt make a NEW character?

 

Incorrect, recraft and use starmap upgrades to get the new recipes

 

That char in the video is an old character. So that shouldn't be the case.

 

did you may put it in the wrong slot? the item called "replace" is to breath on asteroid fields. but what you need is better armor so that you didnt freeze to death.

 

how did you do it?

 

Make a lanternstick.back file in a mod folder of your own (check the Mods subforum for more assistance) and put this in it:

Code:

{
  "__merge" : [],
  "statusEffects" : [
  { "kind" : "glow",
  "amount" : 2,
  "color" : [89, 83, 71]
  },
   { "kind" : "breathprotection"
   }
  ]
}

(This will also make the lantern on a stick twice as bright, basically equal to a torch!)

 

there's a mod folder at the folder game already... should i put there?
