Vacuum Resistance
| This article relates to content added by Odyssey (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled. |
| This page has been suggested for recoding. Reason: 1) Some of these offsets could be automated and displayed in a table; currently they're manually sourced from XML when instead they could be tied to each object's data table 2) Vacsuit#Analysis has time estimates before vacuum penalties for different combos. a templatized version of that maybe with armors one on axis and helmets on another and % and resultant ETA as the cells would be useful on multiple pages. You can help RimWorld Wiki by improving it. |
Vacuum Resistance is a stat: How resistant this creature is to the negative effects of the vacuum of space. Its minimum allowed value is 0%. Its default value is 0%.
A pawn with 50% vacuum resistance gains vacuum exposure severity half as quickly, while a pawn with 100% resistance would take none at all. Vacuum resistance does not affect vacuum burns, although in practice pawns with full vacuum resistance will typically be immune to vacuum burns as well.
Humans and animals have a base value of 0%. Mechanoids and certain entities
- Metal horrors, Nociospheres, Shamblers, Ghouls, Revenants, Unnatural Corpses, and Sightstealers- have 100%. All insectoids have 100% vacuum resistance, but may still suffer from hypothermic slowdown due to the extremely low ambient temperature in orbit.
Although they do not reach 100% vacuum resistance, late game armors such as recon, marine, cataphract, and the mechanitor sets all provide enough vacuum resistance that it takes an extended stay in vacuum before vacuum exposure symptoms appear.
