**Something to think about**
Perhaps the Pioneers Parachute automatically repacks similar to what is seen in the [Star Trek 2009 Movie](https://youtu.be/v7M3x-OLo4Q?t=162) *(Video Bookmark)* when Kirk lands on the Romulan drill. 🤔

✓ BOTTOM LINE: Parachutes in Update 8 were vastly improved, to include addition of Sprint Mode along with increasing the maximum speed and descending speed, allowing for improved gliding.

**ANSWER - Yes**
1. [Iodine Infused Filters](https://satisfactory.wiki.gg/wiki/Hazmat_Suit#Iodine_Infused_Filter-0) is the consumable used by the Hazmat Suit. Each lasts for 12 seconds at maximum radiation. At lesser radiation, the filter lasts proportionally longer.
2. Iodine Infused Filters are made using Gas Mask Filters.

My only issue with it is the camera shaking when u land.
I used to use it a lot even for smal drops or going from one side-ish of my factory to another.
But now i just got double jump mod instead \^\^'
Parachutes and hypertube cannons working together are the best thing going for personal transport at this point. I definitely prioritize getting a chute now.
you don't even *need* the hypertube - [parachute railgun is a thing](https://www.reddit.com/r/SatisfactoryGame/comments/14oaanz/a_stackable_blueprint_for_the_parachute_railgun/)
My main issue in the past was the single body slot for all equipment. So you had to manually switch the blade runners with the parachutes if you wanted to use them. As soon as I realised that, I never touched them again.
By the time they reworked body slots in update 6, I was just used to go around without parachutes and didn't consider they were less troublesome.
Still, considering mycelia isn't easy to gather except in certain map spots, it would have been another blocker.
Turning the parachute to a proper piece of equipment instead of a consumable was a good change. I don't remember how I found out, but now I consider the parachute as much of a priority as the blade runners.
I learned recently there’s an alt recipe that turns the oil waste into paper so it’s a whole game changer for me but now that I’m glitched into immortality I don’t need it anymore
Yes, in the MAM you can unlock the recipe to make fabric out of polymer resin. but by that point you can get the jetpack, so it's debatable how useful it is. Gas filters require fabric too, but are also not very useful as you can blow up gas pillars with nobelisks now.
i love its purpose but i absolutely hate that camera shake on deploy AND landing
cant even turn it down from the settings so it just induces mega nausea for me that i'd rather not use it and tone down the daredevil cliff jumping :(
Boomtoob Cannons and Parachute makes all areas easily accessible. I vastly prefer them over the jetpack. “A noble way to get about.”. Hoverpack is indispensable for building though.
The parachute is my primary means of locomotion (since I build tall, not wide). It can cover more horizontal distance than a jetpack, and works more reliably than a hoverpack. I even thought about making a post regarding how usefully broken it is.
It also makes me build better, since I have to think about accessibility a lot more.
My only complaints are that it is too twitchy with direction changes, and it opens way too easily. Many times I'm trying to do a small jump, and the chute opens uselessly.
I don't say that chute is better than jetpack, but it has several advantages:
1. You get it way earlier
2. You can cross longer hirizontal distances because no fuel
3. Parachute railgun shoots you up and is dirt cheap and no power consumption
Overall, chute is a great addition to jetpack, I use both, swapping as needed
Man, even when it was consumable, I couldn't use them fast enough! Even accidentally double jumping in my base and they would annoyingly deploy for the 2 ft drop back down lol. I fell in love with the Ricky desert biome and never ran out of fungus!
It can even float up very steep terrain
I know, parachute railguns all over the map!
I liked the old parachute where it only worked for the host in multiplayer so my friends would just fall to their death when they followed me

Love the Star Trek reference.
Love that drill scene and the auto-foldy chute design.
Are Iodine Infused Filters still consumable?

Yea I literally had to stop using it for a while, because it was giving me motion sickness when I was moving about my base 🤮
I’m not personally bothered by the shake, but just can see how others are. It probably should be toned down a bit

Nuclear filters require them still

Can someone explain the benefit with parachutes over jetpack pls, isnt the parachute just slower and can’t go upwards?

Ok thanks
I didn't know it wasn't a consumable anymore
hell yes i love the chute
The parachute in conjunction with blade runners is peak early game mobility, so much liberty of movement long before the jetpack even.
Oh god yeah, definitely one of the best things now for getting about.
Man, even when it was consumable, I couldn't use them fast enough! Even accidentally double jumping in my base and they would annoyingly deploy for the 2 ft drop back down lol. I fell in love with the Ricky desert biome and never ran out of fungus!
