The respirator should also help with the shooting star green mist event.

Large smelly cave should be added

I know right! I was shocked when I realized my human had trouble breathing even with their respiratory mask during the espedition, smh... Should have been a vanilla thing

This is along the lines of what I was thinking. Glad you are doing it. Another thing I was thinking about on these missions was sending 2 to 4 survivors. A real team of complementary skills.

Then, using the skill combos, more discoverables are available that can then be RNG'd against to see which if any are found.

For instance:
- Including a guard survivor in your group gives you a much better chance to handle being attacked.
- Including a miner helps retrieve more rocks.
- Including a cook helps retrieve more food of better quality.
- Including a researcher helps improve the chance of finding tech (whether known or new).
- including a doctor helps improve the chance of bringing back survivors.
- ...

Just my mad scribbling. Thank you for your contributions!

I like this idea a lot. Especially the idea below using night-vision. It could also be useful for other events when the survivor arrives at night (or when the event 'resolves') to influence the outcome. Maybe they get swarmed by insects. If they have a bow or sniper (slow firing), then they get hurt. If they have no melee, they get badly hurt (or even killed). If it happens at night with no night vision, they get a debuff that hurts them in the final resolution. On the other hand, if they have heavy armor, during the daytime, with adv laser pistol and a laser sword (fast rate of fire vs many weak targets + good melee) they would have enough buffs to come out without a scratch every time. On the other hand, if it's a single large creature, maybe the sniper or pulse rifle helps you, while the animal's thick hide just shrugs the pistol bolts off.

Good idea!

There's a mission where you find a cave with a creature in it. It would be nice if the Night Vision Goggles helped in that mission - maybe making it an automatic victory in case characters have a low Combat score.
