This actually fits in with a question I have been asking for years

How come the player requires an EPP but npcs dont need one?
In My Glitch playthrough, I noticed that I still died in Heat-filled planets, while the Medieval Glitch just walk around like nothing is happening....

hope they serve you well. :)
once you do sell a couple of weapons you tend to be fairly well off anyways,

hooray now I don't need to spend two years trying to find an e.p.p :D

J/c could you maybe make a Pack that acts like a latern stick but can be bought at Infinity Express?

hello again Xaliber.
CreativeCipher 29 Jun, 2017 @ 10:14am 
exactly, no one told you that you HAVE to download this mod.
Ω Spriggan Ω  [author] 26 Mar, 2017 @ 7:36pm 
go for it then. end of the day...mods are optional.
Ω Spriggan Ω  [author] 24 Mar, 2017 @ 8:26pm 
-_-
how is it OP?
yeah go buy the cooling pack and go to a lava planet early on with iron armor.

the player still needs to do the usual grind to get the armor and weapons to survive on these planets.....
Ω Spriggan Ω  [author] 24 Mar, 2017 @ 7:05pm 
right but you the player isn't a standard Civilian. :P

you're trained as a protectorate and have a Matter Manipulator tool.
you're able to use any weapon that comes into your possession and have vast knowledge of how to build things
as well as a personal ship with an AI and way to respawn should you die.
so you're pretty fearless in the face of death.

imagine a Civilian trying to live that life with no matter tool, no building knowledge or serious combat experience.....and only 1 life.

the EPPs that Civilians can purchase aren't as good as player made ones as they only protect against 1 type of environment and can't be augmented.
i was thinking more along the lines of colonists trying to find a new home and need an cheaper EPP that would protect them.

industries made them Cheap so they'd cut corners removing the augment funtion and muli-enviroment protection feature from some of them so it'd be cheaper to create.
Ω Spriggan Ω  [author] 23 Mar, 2017 @ 10:20pm 
how would Civilians afford it then? :^)

any more expensive and the player would be better of making it themself.
Xaliber 6 Feb, 2017 @ 4:16am 
@Forcedminer
Yup, that should suffice for bases, meanwhile us the player should still require EPP to walk around the environment.

@Xaliber

Hey thats acutally a pretty sweet looking mod.

for a moment i thought my mod was going to be voidded out by it but i see it only works on rooms.

it looks great i can imagine building a base with those around it so the colonists aren't in danger of being harmed from the enviroment.

@mattstat716: you mean this mod? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=782262701 Environmental Safety?
MattisticStatistic 6 Dec, 2016 @ 4:20am 
@82nd That's already a mod, tho?
Ω Spriggan Ω  [author] 22 Nov, 2016 @ 7:37pm 
@82nd

Easier said than done....although oxygen might be possiable.
haven't a clue how to do it for rads,heat and cold.

my first thought is making a custom new liquid....which will be oxygen...
add a machine that can create this liquid oxygen.
you'd place it in rooms and if they're closed off they'd fill with this oxygen liquid.

the oxygen liquid won't literally be liquid but it'll float upwards if possiable

haven't a clue now im rambling here...

space engineers has an air vent block which can fill rooms which oxygen if they're closed off from the outside.

hey any chance you know if radiation planets can acutally kill the player?
only thing i know radiation does to a player is reduce their max health.
cold slowly drains energy than health the longer the player is there
hot slowly and painfully damages player getting worse and worse
Kallas 20 Nov, 2016 @ 2:46pm 
How about indoor heating or pressurization for bases? l_l

Great alternative to crafting, this'll be helpful.
Paradox 4 Nov, 2016 @ 1:46pm 
I'd make them smaller,

@vinchenzojackal&shoon
and thank you vinchenzojackal&shoon for the idea of adding it the Merchant lists.
Ω Spriggan Ω  [author] 19 Sep, 2016 @ 10:17am 
Special Thanks to Steam user "The Honey Badger"
because now merchants have a chance to stock the packs.

they sell much much cheaper then infinity express.
check the screenshots

Finally. i can go to other planets in my solar system since most of em need EPP's
Jason_c_o 18 Sep, 2016 @ 8:17am 
A cool idea. Breaks progression in Frackin' Universe, in a way, since all those EPPs have only one protection as well. Just the lack of augment slot is different.
VinchenzoTheJackal & Shoon 17 Sep, 2016 @ 3:36pm 
Colony Stores and Traveling Merchants sell cheapest, TerraMart is slightly more expensive, GasStation sells most expensive. If these are going to be sold for the smallest price... rely on the planet side stores. If you want to see them at the most expensive, travel around the outpost shops, they all sell at high prices, but TerraMart sells cheapest of them all.
Kirubelle 17 Sep, 2016 @ 2:37pm 
damn
Ω Spriggan Ω  [author] 17 Sep, 2016 @ 2:34pm 
@Nova

nope. :P
it'll most likely sell for 5 times less
400 pixles to sell
2000 pixles to buy

colonies and selling found weapons are a great way to get decent chucks of cash.
Kirubelle 17 Sep, 2016 @ 2:28pm 
that sounds good for a cheaty way to make a lot of cash
Kirubelle 17 Sep, 2016 @ 2:28pm 
so if i buy the air epp i can sell it then buy it again x5?
Ω Spriggan Ω  [author] 17 Sep, 2016 @ 2:23pm 
@RedEmRa|tipofthehats.org

I've been messing with the prices and it seems that whatever its value is....shops sell it for 5 times that amount... :/

need to do some more experimenting but it looks like if I make the price higher shops will multiply it by 5.

seems to ignore the price i set it in the .recipe
petthepetra 17 Sep, 2016 @ 2:21pm 
Intresting idea! So if you need some poison liquid or something, but you don't have the materials to make a radiation EPP, you can just buy a lower grade CGEPP.
VinchenzoTheJackal & Shoon 17 Sep, 2016 @ 1:49pm 
A good idea I approve of.
RedEmRa 17 Sep, 2016 @ 1:29pm 
Brilliant well thought out mod, just asking you could increase the sell valvue so you could make a bit of profit.
*Yuki* 17 Sep, 2016 @ 1:25pm 
needs kinda more custom sprites, imo
Fuyuno 17 Sep, 2016 @ 12:58pm 
add, or replace?
Solzucht 17 Sep, 2016 @ 12:19pm 
nice idea, tough i wont use it :)
