Hardsuit

This page covers the deployable Hardsuits. If you're looking for voidsuits, click here.

## Overview

RIG Suits are the newest model of advanced hardsuits produced by NanoTrasen's finest. Powered by an intelligent control module, RIG Suits are controlled by high-tech machinery that makes masks obsolete as new Sealing technology is available, and incorporates a plethora of integrated modules that destroys the need to carry encumbering packs to space trips.
Although complex in make, RIG Suits are simple to use, for they were after all, designed for the rank and file of NanoTrasen.

## Un/Equipping a Hardsuit

Since Hardsuits deploy themselves to cover your entire body, before wearing one make sure you there are no obstructions in the way.

* Remove any armor, coat or anything over your jumpsuit, gloves and hats. (Note that you don't need a breathing mask, unlike with voidsuits, as they come inbuilt in the hardsuit)
* Wear the  hardsuit control module on your back, instead of a backpack/satchel.
* Deploy the hardsuit by accessing the 'Deploy Hardsuit' command in the **Hardsuit** tab.
* Either click the 'Toggle hardsuit' command on the same tab or open the detailed suit interface ('Open Suit interface' command) and activate it there, to start the sealing process and activate your shiny new hardsuit.
* Make sure to stand still until components activate and your vision clears

* To unequip, simple select 'Toggle Hardsuit' again to deactivate the parts one by one. Only then will you be able to take the control module off your back.

## Modules

Each hardsuit comes with a set of standard modules for the corresponding department it is made for. Mining hardsuit would have the drill and ore scanner, medical hardsuit has a set of medical syringes, etc.

Modules are controlled using the 'Hardsuit modules' tab or in the hardsuit interface. Remember that some modules use power, and that a depleted power cell will require premature Maintenance. (see below).
A list of modules can be found below. Currently, modules can only be found in certain RIG Suits that spawn with inbuilt modules. Modules will be able to be built at a later stage.

NB: Only one type of module can be installed per RIG Suit.
