That's actually a great idea!

I'm aware it would change the whole Oxygen deal in the game, but it would make the game not only harder, but more complex. I still feel like the way we get Oxygen needs to change and need to give Organic more use. Vehicles supplying Oxygen for no reason is a huge problem in my eyes.

Organic doesn't only mean food. We pretty much suck up plants when gathering Organic. I do believe we need to make Oxygen more scarce and give some use Organic. Also, I hope they make wildlife in the future and food would be a thing in the game. I love survivor/exploratory games and it's a must in my eyes.

I like the idea, but would make it only work if they add in "WATER" to cool the reactor down.

I've never encoured that. That was probably luck on your part.

I think this would destroy the purpose of Vehicles, even backpacks kind of. You could just build a tether line and transport everything without ever bothering to make a Rover or Truck in the game. I do like your drawing though!

Hello! I've recently purchased the Astroneer game on Steam and I really like it, but I do have some suggestions to make the game harder to survive. I've realized how little mind I've to pay to the Oxygen and how little use the Organic have. As of right now I don't really see any use of Organic materials in the game besides for the Generators. Also, it's really not a problem to wonder off your base even without placing Tethers on the way and survive for a long time. Oxygen is not a problem in the game at all. I'd like to change this and not have infinite amount of Oxygen in the base and vehicles. I was thinking about having a decent size dome around the base when you spawn into the world that uses the surrounding plants to get Oxygen for the base and through the Tethers. This dome could be expanded or we could place more around the surrounding area. Or! You could add a new building to the base that would convert Organic materials into Oxygen. I've attached a beautiful paint drawing for you guys to kind of have an idea. I was thinking about having Oxygen tanks that we could place on our vehicles and on the back of our backpack, new slot. The current one on the top of the backpack works, but I'd like to make it replaceable. Lets say my Oxygen ran out in my tank. I walk to my base and switch it out for a full one from the side of the base. I'd still be able to refill the empty one, but not as easily as I do right now. Refilling them would require me putting the tank into the tank slot in the base. I could attach these tanks to the side of vehicles, like 3 on Rovers, and 5 on Trucks, and I could get the Oxygen through them when I'm close enough to it, but it wouldn't refill it. I could just survive. In order to wonder off again I could grab one of the tanks from the side of the vehicles and replace it with the empty one. Please let me know what you think! P.S.: I'm sorry about my English. It's not my native tongue. I couldn't upload the picture so here is a link for it. http://imgur.com/a/oLlrR
