Surviving Vacuum and Toxic Air with the Iron Space Suit

Outer space and alien worlds are hostile. Vacuum damages you, and some planets have toxic air. The pressurized iron space suit protects you from both.

Gear Up Before You Launch

1. Craft every piece of the iron space suit armor set. The protection is designed around a full set, so do not leave with a gap in your armor.

2. Craft oxygen tanks and bring them along.

3. Equip the full suit before you get into the cockpit. You want protection the moment you reach orbit or step onto a planet.

4. Hover over the suit pieces and tanks to read their detailed tooltips. They explain how the gear works.

Good habits:

• Treat the suit as mandatory for every trip, including short hops to Earth orbit.
• Keep a backup set at home in case you lose your gear on another world.

Color-Code Your Crew

You can dye space gear in any standard dye color or in international orange shades. Some ideas:

• On a multiplayer server, give each player their own color so you can spot each other on the Moon's grey surface.
• Use international orange for high visibility against dark or rocky terrain.
• Match your suit colors to your rocket or base theme.

If you are unsure how to apply dye, check the tooltip on the suit piece in game.
