[Suggestion] MXC Portable Shelter - Orbital Workshop Addition
I think it'd be a great addition to the game to have a portable shelter added to the workshop. I imagine it as being a small 1x1 deployable shelter with two deployable spots for a bedroll and an MXC campfire. The shelter itself would only take up one inventory slot and you could place the two aforementioned items into the shelter in pre-determined spots.
There could also be a basic and upgraded version. The basic version comes just as is, with no real weather or temperature protection. Upgrades could be purchased in the workshop for temperature or weather protection, maybe even additional space (for an MXC furnace and/or MXC crate).
I think its important that it be an MXC portable shelter and only compatible with MXC items (excluding the bedroll ofc). It's meant as a temporary shelter, while out adventuring or first getting set up on a new prospect.

DennisReynolds MergedIt'd be cool to have small, temporary shelters that don't require investing too many tech tree points into building them, such as a tent or similar.
I'm playing with a friend focusing on base and shelter building while I focus more on exploration, hunting, and mining. I don't want to invest points into the tech tree items that would let me build temporary shelters because it feels like a waste and overkill.
I need something that would let me wait out a storm or give some protection against cold when combined with a campfire. I know hollowing out boulders is an option, but that feels like a bit of a hack.
From a roleplaying viewpoint, I consider my character like a backpacker, and you would expect them to build little survival shelters or carry a tent or other quickly deployable shelter. -

Jeremy MergedIt would be useful to be able to build tents, tarps and or hammocks etc. If we wish to do more exploring across the map/ travel around it would be great to set up camp for the night or during a storm. So we don't get caught out in the middle of nowhere.

Mongo MergedTents would be great to have a temporary (no respawn set) bed for sleeping through the night, particularly when you have a long run through an area to get to a target such as the mammoth. Hauling up in a cave and chewing antibiotics and building a couple of roofs to put a bed under felt cheesy.
I would say that they should not be able to withstand anything greater than a light winds type storm or have it on a scale
Lean-to: Fibre - No storm protection
Tent: rope + Leather + Fur - Withstands light wind
Arctic Swag: add in Carbon fibre - Withstands light wind
Desert Swag: add in something for sand filtration - Withstands light wind
Super Swag: Some tier 4 materials - has durability like standard construction
It could be a talent in the base moving cost reduction tree or solo tree. -

Andre MergedNo need. Hollow out a boulder when you 1st drop. Save your points for a "bare minimum" wood house to hold you over for stone. Skip thatch or any other "temp" house because things move to fast and you'll waste badly needed skill points. 2 storage chest and a sleeping bag fit inside the 1st large boulder I dropped in next to. Storms never touched me.

John MergedYou got a bedroll down inside a boulder? nice.
I also suggest animal hide tents as a temp shelter we can use, maybe very early on aswell but mainly as a quick shelter we can move with us while exploring. We can do this by building and unbuilding small wooden buildings but a tent as a single item would also be nice.
I was thinking 3 sizes of tents, small being just big eough for a player and a campfire and/or mortor&pestle and similar small items. possibly even so small that you cant move around inside and use an animation to get in and out.
Medium being big enough for atleast 2 beddrolls/crafting benches and a campfire.
Large is prob not actually worth adding but it would be like an enclosed event tent to house a few people and benches and such but after playing I dont think a large is a good idea anymore but a small personal tent mainly to warm some and elude exposure would be nice as an option other than hiding in a rock, which ill prob still do alot anyways cuz its so easy. -

FeatherSnow MergedMaybe in T4 we can have a portable composite tent that can be carried in the G slot, it would deploy into a 2x2 dome style tent. It could be repaired in the fabricator instead of with a hammer, but it would be able to survive a severe storm or two before needing full repair. It could weigh ~40kg to balance it with the weight and permanance of stone buildables.

Match MergedLike everything in the suggestion except the weight, an 80 pound tent sounds way too heavy to me!

Nick Mergedi would really like to see a feature added where we have something like a tent with a bed that we can bring with us when we travel. i like the storms in this game, most games that have storms they are just annoying, but you guys do the storms the right way. however, it discourages traveling and exploring for more than a couple hours (in game time) because i may get caught by a storm while out. if we had some sort of tent that we could bring to use to sleep at night, and hide from storms i think it would make the game so much better

Diatom MergedI like this idea other than the weight. One for each tier between 2-4 requiring crafting at the respective tier workbench. Provides weather protection, minimal threat reduction, and no creature protection. First tier could be leather, second fur, and final tier could be composite. Make it like torches where it can't be repaired and wears out the more you use it. Between five to ten uses would be ideal for something like the mission for opening up the arctic.

Bongo MergedWhy is there no basic shelter like tents or lean to's in the game to build before you get to house building levels and when you are on the road?

I would like a tent or a mobil base that u could carry with u so u can most of the time in the desert surivive storms or in the blizzard, were not cavemans were man with spacesuit so i don't think it would ruin the game mechanism.
Buy these items from workshop its way better improvement that foods from workshop

Pawel MergedIt is really annoying that there is no craftable simple tent or something similar to the expedition outside the base. Often you have to go somewhere far and creating small houses is terribly tedious and pointless. Then you could make a tent with a sleeping bag and go on some further expeditions with it.

Quin MergedI would love a 1x1 emergency deployable shelter to use on long missions far from home. Maybe make it take up your g slot and have a little built in heater

ZogTheHog MergedThis would be outstanding, even just the shelter would be a really worthwhile addition since shelter is so important

Hoss MergedI was just talking about this the other day. I was surprised when this wasn't an option to buy in the workshop as part of the load out. We can buy enviro-suits, makes sense to add a tent of some kind and sleeping bag. If it's from the workshop then it has a limited use during each prospect and unable to be repaired during the drop.

ForgeTec MergedI mean we can bring down weapons even portable campfires but our characters can't figure out a tent?
Figure have 3 versions of tent.
Cloth tent - can be slept in at night with camp fire near it good against lvl 1 storms - Research 200 cost 100
Heavy Tent - good against lvl 2 storms - campfire near it to sleep - 500 research 250 cost)
Dome Tent - lvl 3 storms - built in stove and cooking station - 1000 research 500 cost
these domes would just be a item that we can deploy and interact with letting us quickly sleep through nights but be useless against heavy storms and thus not fit for long term survival letting us use them on recon missions but not long term ones -

sensei MergedWe need an opportunity to buy a tent in a workshop for money and exomaterial! A tent will be placed near the fire to skip the night! I think this is an interesting idea!

Coretalless MergedThis crate contains everything you need to setup a shelter in any environment. It's 3x3 has a built-in crash coach and heater. Downside is it will not stand up to weather as well as wood will but it will get you going.

Nhojpodge MergedAn item that is purchased from the workshop, can be added to your drop. It calls down a sturdy base that lasts for maybe a day of irl time. Then has to launch to recharge before the next mission, or maybe it has to charge for either x days or x missions. It comes with a basic fire pit at the beginning. It will deploy only once per mission, restricted based on mission requirements. This should be something that's decently expensive in the workshop, an item that is expanded and upgraded using exotics as you progress, adding benches, a fireplace, etc. I think the early game base building is okay. But currently the deeper into the game you get the less rewarding it feels to play. The workshop items feel targeted at issues that should be balanced, not really improving the gameplay positively. (I personally think the workshop should have more items that address issues like movement and shelter. I would find this as something promoting me to build a better base for long missions.)

Chale MergedWould love a lightweight deployable from the workshop that provides shelter and space for a bed and fire. I carry several different house pieces with me basically always in the event of a storm and it would be great to have that inventory space freed up!

WH0L3H34RT MergedA light weight deployable workshop "Prospector" shelter/tent taking up a single inventory space would be excellent.
I carry pieces for a small 1x1 shelter and the MXC campfire with me on most missions for the same reason.
I usually set up the campfire just outside of the shelter, so the portable workshop shelter wouldn't need to fit both bedroll and campfire
(so long as game continues to allow beds to work with a campfire placed nearby on other side of a wall).
It would be a better "nice to have" if you could fit one of the various work benches inside the portable workshop shelter. -

Charliehostile MergedI suggest 3 tiers of a workshop temporary shelter item.
1 all weather sleeping bag
2 a tent size of a 1x1
3 a composite Quarters module 1x2 that can be connected with other players modules and modified -

Kassandra L Watson MergedUpvoting in support of the tent idea, or an emergency shelter blueprint. If you spend time outdoors, you learn quickly how to find or make shelter in many conditions. When I first started playing, fellow players said to chop into a rock for the fastest shelter, which sounded crazy (despite being true in the game). Real life instinct told me to look for hallow of a tree, overhangs, fallen logs, and even cave entrances. At the very least I expected a lean-to or makeshift tent to be a blueprint. I settled on making just enough building pieces to build against a cliff with a fire inside (or out in front where possible). It's still not faster than chopping into a rock, but at least is makes more sense and has much less chance of 'taking me out of the game.' :)

JacksSmirk MergedI thought of this as well; I love the idea. Some missions, especially when you're fully suited/armored out, don't require setting up a base. A tent from orbital would be the perfect addition.

Reko MergedOne of the things that really bugs me is the lack of survival gear in the workshop. Dropping down without even a sleeping bag? So I'd like to see stuff like an MXC Sleeping bag, a 1x1 survival shelter, stuff like that added to the workshop. It can branch off the MXC campfire
-
02 May, '22
LevIt takes less than 60 seconds to get several stone tools, yet people still take the MXC ones. The utility is in the inventory space conservation and that it goes with other MXC items.

Del MergedI think a tiered deployable shelter would be useful, start with a basic tent with a camp stove and bed, the tent could be portable, then move up to different tiers of expedition shelters which would be non-portable, once deployed it can't be taken down, with tier 2, 3, and 4 crafting stations smelters, and other related items. Each one could take up multiple slots in the dropship, or even have their own slot in the dropship and be one time use.

Lianail MergedAdd a survival "Lean-To" -
- Nothing but a bedroll fits under it.
- Uses thatch material (maybe just a roof variant)
- It should allow you to get out of storms and sleep
- Probably shouldn't be able to pick it back up. -

East City Survivor MergedYes, I think there should be both craftable lean-tos/tents, and a "proper" one that can be bought from the station. In the early game, before stamina and speed buffs from talents and higher tier foods, it's a real pain to be building shelters or returning to base before nightfall. Since sleeping requires a fireplace, there should also be rain-proof heating devices that can be crafted or bought, that allow sleeping but not cooking. Lean-tos and tents wouldn't necessarily have to work as a respawn point, if that would be seen as a game balance issue.
