Talk:Hostile Environment Suit

Technology level needs correction

Actually, the minimal technology level for HES is Tech3 and Tech4. The Plague doctor suit may qualify for Tech3 hazmat suit; though making hermitized suit from rubber or caoutchouc in Tech3 times (1730's), what would truly protect your body from toxins, is possible, if you know what you are doing; and in game, the first Filter Mask was made in Tech3 times (so if you can hermitize the connection of mask to your face, then you could use same technology and materials to hermitize the whole body). And hermitized suits with relatively modern functionality started existing roughly from early 20 century (Tech4). --95.71.119.154 03:57, 18 February 2023 (EST)

• If something, the Plague Doctor Suit or similar design could actually qualify for Tech2 biological defense suit. And also, Tech1 and Tech0 chemical-defence could exist, though the body protection would be made of heavy layers of cloth, and "filters" would be composed of aromatic items or literally bunch of gauze or rags soaked with piss (i am serious, that is what WW1 soldiers used to protect themselves from chemical weapons before invention of gas mask), and would not fully mitigate even low-TL dangers (like smoke or dust). --95.71.119.154 04:08, 18 February 2023 (EST)
