Gasmask exhaustion

Can you add a way to tweak how long until you start to lose endurance and the rate in which you do? It's way too fast by default.

While Mantha is correct, in the fact newer ones are lighter, that doesn't change the fact the filters are not easy to breathe through.

Some filters are but one that would be used for let's say nuclear radiation would have 3 different pieces to it, nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC filter), this makes it a lot harder to breath through and is why something like a PAPR is beneficial (Powered Air Purifying Respirator, essentially a big ole fan that sucks air through the filter into a tube leading to the mask so you don't have to manually breathe through the filter)

somebody clearly knows little about gas masks :P
Modern ones aren't that heavy. Anything 90s and newer is lightweight and made with comfort in mind.

I feel like this needs a new moodle rather than just a background stat drain/detriment to feel immersive and fair. Also falling asleep because of wearing a mask just doesn't feel right imo.

Here's some brainfood for what I might propose as a change:

A simple 2 part progression going from [Uncomfortable] (a warning with no detriment)] to [Claustrophobic] (-stamina recovery, -awareness FOV).

I know claustrophobia is a trait, but people without that diagnosis can still feel and describe things as claustrophobic. Of course you could always use a different word, the main thing in my proposition is the stats and moodle.

I agree it shouldn't just remove endurance but at least make it harder or impossible to recover from it

Love the idea of this, though making it take away endurance regeneration seems a bit much. Maybe just making it pause endurance regeneration could make it more usable?

I figured since you'd be wearing a mask you'd have restricted airflow, but could take it off in a safe area to regain your strength.

A good compromise could be to add it as an option at the very least, but great work so far!

Wearing a gasmask shouldn't stop you from regaining stamina, but it should make it slower.
