Glove Brainstorming

I noticed that the radiation gloves seem to be the only gloves in the game, as far as I can tell, so I started thinking about other types of gloves/suits to add to the game.

It would be interesting if there were Hazardous Materials gloves that you could make that would allow you to pick up certain materials without hurting yourself, like acid shroom spores in particular (maybe the radiation suit could be upgraded into a hazmat suit for dangerous environments?)

Maybe some kind of enhanced Collecting gloves that would sometimes get you an extra material when you collect it (probably only small/environment-mounted things like minerals or plants, cause duplicating an entire metal scrap seems silly, also you don't want any duplication bugs from just dropping items and picking them up again)

Perhaps a Reach Extender that would allow you to grab things at a farther range, probably good for catching fish easier

Armored Gloves would be nice if there was a suit in the future that reduced damage that you take

Just a few misc ideas that I think would be pretty useful

    Not quite in the game yet, but there's this. I'm liking the ideas though!

    A webbed glove from the modification station for a small speed boost, similar to the flippers that add speed

    ooh I like that too, especially if they stack

    I'd love to be able to keep up with slightly faster creatures without having to get my seaglide out

    Yes, webbed gloves would be awesome! A small speed boost would be a great benefit. Plus they would be pretty cheap, like the fins.

    Yes, just maybe a third of the way between the flippers and the seaglide

    Maybe they could finally add a watch/timepiece functionality. Make a little animation where your character pauses to look at the back of his glove and check the chornometer. It could show you the current date/time, how long before the next sunrise/sunset, how long before next eclipse, how long before you die of thirst/starvation (based on your current food/H2O percentages - not helpful but immersive), or any other time related info.
    I like it. Especially the times until next sunset, sure rise,eclipse.

    Mini-frabricator. Limited in what it can build, perhaps requires energy? Survivor would hold hands out with palms facing one another, item is built between.
    Very slow movement while doing so, if any.
