The kid vacsuit is an item of apparel added by the Odyssey DLC and only present with the Biotech DLC enabled. It forms a set with the vacsuit helmet.
Acquisition[edit]
Kid vacsuits can be crafted at a machining table once the Orbital tech research project has been completed. Each requires
3 Components,
45 Steel,
10 Plasteel and 20,000 ticks (5.56 mins) of work modified by the general labor speed of the crafter.
Summary[edit]
The kid vacsuit is a child-sized version of the regular vacsuit, meaning it can only be worn by pawns under 13.
A kid vacsuit increases the vacuum resistance of its wearer by +32%. Quality does not affect this resistance.
When equipped, a kid vacsuit reduces the pawn's base move speed by −1.25 c/s. As offsets such as these apply before multiplicative effects such as from Moving capacity, the actual impact on move speed can be larger or smaller than this value. For example, a pawn with 125% Moving would have their speed decreased by −1.5625 c/s, while a pawn with only 50% Moving would only have their speed decreased by −0.625 c/s. See Move Speed for details.
Also note that children have a reduced move speed based on their age.[Stacking?]
Analysis[edit]
The vacsuit helmet and kid vacsuit set provides +100% Vacuum Resistance, enabling children to survive in orbit. These are the only kid apparel to provide Vacuum Resistance, as kids don't have access to power armor. Without a vacskin gland
or a vacuum-related gene
, they are a practical necessity for children in space.
In addition, kid vacsuits are the highest protection body armor available to kids, even beating thrumbomane kid parkas, so they have some merit while on the planet. However, since children have lower HP and should be avoiding combat anyway, upgrading their combat armor is a very low priority. It also provides a hefty movement penalty. Still, once the resource cost is no longer an issue, kid vacsuits can provide extra safety to a child. The movement speed penalty isn't as much of an issue as children are limited in their work, and they should still comfortably hit the max growth tier despite the slowdown.
When a child grows into an adult, the kid vacsuit is removed but the vacsuit helmet remains. Therefore, while such pawns won't die instantly, they are still in heavy danger if in a vacuum.
