Will there be any way to get sustenance in an area where we won't be able to remove our helmet without dying?
Jonny Jacevicius · Lead FPS Systems Designer

Yeah, I mean, we don't have any plans at the moment, but I always say never say never, and that very much ties into the eventual plan we have for the player suit and player armor. Conversations we've had in the past, I think, again, mentioned it last time I was on here, was it almost is going to be like a mini spaceship by the time we're done. It's going to generate power and things like that. So potentially, as long as it doesn't just completely take away from the fact that you do need to find food and drink to survive and consume that, then we can maybe look into some sort of suit-integrated system, but it's something that we haven't talked about at all. So don't take that as me promising that's what you're going to get. But that's just an idea that we talked about a little bit here and there. So that's maybe something we could do in the future, but not right now. But again, obviously, I don't want to just completely nullify the fact that we have hunger and thirst. And something that we always say is that planning is part of the core game loop. You always need to make sure that you eat and drink before you go into these situations. So you're not just going out, oh, I'm a little bit hungry and thirsty, I'm going to go on a three-hour trip out somewhere into the volcano planet where I won't find any food or drink. Obviously that's very bad preparation. You're going to suffer for it. And what I wanted to say is there's obviously a bit of a difference between two different hostile environments. So if you're in zero G and there's no atmosphere, then taking off your helmet is just a big no-no in general. But say if you're on a planet that's super hot or super cold, and hopefully you're wearing the right gear for that anyway, again, part of the planning loop, if you take your helmet off for a few seconds while you just have a quick drink or a quick something to eat, it's not a big deal.
