📋 About This Mod
Simplifies a lot of the core oxygen mechanics. Lightly tested but should work like this in theory:
-
[]If planet has no atmosphere AND you are outside, only a helmet + spacesuit is necessary. Backpack is optional
[
]If planet/location has an atmosphere or is sealed, you can wear whatever you want (same as vanilla)[]If wearing helmet, immune to poor air quality and toxic gas for some time. (does not apply to acid air)
- []Unequipping a Backpack removes 100 oxygen. I could not find the record that causes this. So I've simply increase the base oxygen amount under certain conditions to account for it. So on that note, if you equip a backpack, you will have 100 extra oxygen than normal. There is definitely a cleaner way to do this so if anyone wants to have a try at it, go for it.
- While writing the above text, I realized that I could add a condition that just adds 100 oxygen if no backpack is equipped. I'll prolly just end up doing that in the next update unless the OG record that removes 100 oxygen is found by someone by then.
