Trouble with Unknown planets after recent update
Er, sorry to be bringing this up if it already has been elsewhere, but I couldn't find it if so.

I've been having trouble exploring unknown planets since the last update that changed their atmosphere spawns. Every one that I've tried to visit has had at least two and normally 3-5 atmospheric effects occurring simultaneously - e.g. extreme heat and deadly cold, extreme sulphuric atmosphere and poison gas all at once.
I know that there is an end-game EPP that buffs all resistances at once, but in the meantime I'm finding it impossible to find any combo of equipment to make any of them even remotely survivable. Rather than a set of exciting random adventures for any point in the game so long as you're ballsy enough, unknown planets have been pretty much shut off to me completely.

So, queries: is anyone else having this problem? If so, are there any methods you've come up with for getting around it that I haven't realised yet? (entirely possible) If not, does that mean that I might be experiencing either a bug (making those atmosphere rolls more numerous than they should be, in which case I guess I should migrate to the bug report thread) or some kind of mod conflict that could be affecting this? (I don't have any mods on the general forbidden list)
Or, of course, was this completely intended because of how exploitable unknown worlds were without constant damage ticks?

I don't really want to roll back to an earlier version because I like the recent tweaks with the research system, so any advice/info/insight would be appreciated. Text wall over, thankyou guys :)

Then they are working properly.

You need to make specific setups to survive Unknowns now. You will very rarely find one that isn't dangerous. This is the price of wanting a high tier world for loot: High tier danger to get that loot.

There is no one setup that avoids all the effects, and there never will be. Instead, you must mix and match various EPP, armor sets, consumables and augment to get the most out of your setup

Fair enough, in that case! I'll keep trying to figure out a better equipment set then. Thanks for getting back to me on that so quickly :)
