Thank you for the report!

Which submarine did this happen in? Did you notice it happening in some specific room? If this was in some custom submarine, it could possibly be that the waypoints haven't been properly set up or updated in the sub.

All tier 1 subs or maybe other tier too but I don't take any passenger after reaching Europa ridge

Also they will prioritize safe spot instead of diving suit too.

The same thing happened to me yesterday in a single player game with mods (dynamic europa, etc.). Orca uboat. When the uboat was flooded, the NPCs swam wearing oxygen masks until they died, although there were free diving suits nearby, they ignore it and did not put suits on.

There is something weird going in pathfinding. Managed to get mechanic failing to exit ballast in humpback on video:

In other instance idle medic was swimming only in diving mask in fully flooded hull, also in humpback, feels like they don't properly evaluate the danger within the room they are idling in.

Edit. Addendum In barsuk saw this happening when ballast was filling, but pump managed to keep up with the leak:

@Jasontti, if you are on single player, please type "debugai" before recording or taking a screenshot.

Doesn't seem to be that easy to repro, but I think I managed to find at least one issue when I teleported a character in the ballast of Humpback:

Steps:

1. Equip a diving mask
2. Go in the ballast.
3. Use "water" command to fill it in water
4. Go to free cam
5. If the bot manages to path out from the ballast, teleport it back
