Thermal suit
A space suit under quilted gold foil: Mercury's burning day and freezing night held off.
In the game
How to get it
At the crafting grid (Space): a space suit in the middle, four gold ingots beaten to foil, glass for the visor, four dust felts, four aluminium sheets.
What it is for
Your own air; heat up to 320 °C, cold down to -230 °C, a quarter of the acid stopped. With cytherite armour, the noon Sun itself. Not enough alone on Triton and Pluto (-238 and -240 °C): add armour forged with glacite, Miranda's alloy (40 °C more a piece).
Why it exists
Gold reflects the Sun: the suit that crosses Mercury's day.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
