A lot of the comments we saw said the next logical step might be little rocket boots to help propel you, little jetpacks, maybe even an animation to do the Christopher Reeve Superman thing. Are any of these being considered?
Jonny Jacevicius · Assistant Design Director

In the future we want to put more emphasis on basically picking equipment that allows you to EVA better. So that might be in the form of EVA jetpacks, not jetpacks, but EVA backpacks and things like that that might come with more EVA fuel, because that's something we want to do down the line. More oxygen and things like that for existing in spaces where there's no atmosphere for you to be able to breathe. And essentially, looking into that preparation phase that we've talked about before, where you're making considerations that, hey, I want to be an EVA salvager, I'm going to equip myself with the things that are going to be able to get me there. But until we get other features in, like we showed yesterday, we showed the zero-G push-pull, that's not coming in 3.23. And some of these systems we're holding back, because we wouldn't really want to implement EVA fuel without having systems like zero-G push-pull, because otherwise you might be sat in the middle of space, run out of fuel, you've got no options. You also need to build places to refuel.

Jared Huckaby · Host, Community

100%, yes. So I'm glad you brought that up. We tried to be very deliberate in our storytelling. We said, this is coming in Alpha 3.23, and then further down the line, there's the zero-G traversal where you're climbing on the hands, there's the fuel. Some folks missed that EVA is 3.23, but the zero-G traversal, that crawling along the hands, and the fuel stuff is not 3.23. That is down the line.

Jonny Jacevicius · Assistant Design Director

It's down the line, yeah.
