So, I am on a cold planet right now. It says it is -18 degrees Celsius on the scanner and I keep getting frostbite and hypothermia effects from it, despite having 45 thermal protection assuming these all stack from each piece of my suit (suit, helmet, pack).
Am I maybe missing a way to see what the actual environmental damage threshold is? How the hell am I supposed to protect myself from this shit? Is that not what the 4 items (thermal, airborne, corrosive, radiation) below the DR are meant to protect against? It’s like everytime I am on a planet and it doesn’t show my civilian clothes, I’m constantly up against these environmental effects. Getting burns and blisters from the heat, radiation sickness from lack of a magnetic sphere, getting sick from airborne diseases… I’ve been putting as much into these resistances as I can and it doesn’t seem to help.
Maybe it depends on the severity of the environmental conditions and intensity of exposure.
Sometimes it won’t do much if it isn’t that bad. Other times it’ll reduce your health bar and for more extreme exposure cause ailments.
I’ve not been paying much attention to be honest but I’ll keep an eye out
I’m sure that is it, but there isn’t an obvious way to know what the numbers for the environment are vs the numbers in your armor. The stats when you scan a planet don’t tell you. They say what the biome is like and if it’s extreme, but no actual numbers or anything to know if you’ll be okay or at risk.
