They should protect themselves as they work to build the rest of Subnautica 2 for us. After the full release they can take them off I suppose. It would be a fun thing for us Early Access players to have!
I love this so much.

I love this idea, but i think it would take away from the terror. so I suggest maybe having it either be an optional toggle in the settings or, even better, a random chance that they spawn with the hardhats as an easter egg (maybe 20% chance or something)
