FIRE EXTINGUISHERS!!!

Let's say 20 steel, and increase the range of firefighting to 4 tiles.

That way you can actually... Put out fires on generators.

I agree with this but there would be one issue, they would probably have to carry one around with them like a weapon. hehe freeze your enemy's to death!

Widely requested/suggested. I imagine it'll be a thing at some point.

I'd also like to see room-wide gaseous fire suppression systems utilising inert gases like Argon. They could have their own dangers (incapacitation/death due to exposure, risk of pressurised tank explosion due to tank integrity compromised by fire, etc.) but would mean some form of automatic fire protection. Could be routed to rooms using pressurised pipes and would activate automatically if a fire is detected in the room. Gas would be released from a valve (think sprinkler) and spread through the room, suffocating the fire but also suffocating colonists if they don't get out in time (they could actively avoid rooms with the gas if there's another route.

+1 to fire extinguishers in vanilla game

Did any of you guys play Evil Genius?

There were fire extinguisher boxes you put on a wall. During a fire your henchmen would grab the nearest fire extinguisher and run toward the fire. It was the only way to stop things from burning. I would imagine something like that instead of taking up a weapon slot.

Agreed, or pawns could automatically pick up nearby fire extinguishers when they go fight a fire. That would encourage players to strategically position them around their bases.

One problem. Mods are not vanilla Rimworld.

You don't understand.

MOD IS NOT VANILLA.

This belongs IN vanilla.
