Frequently asked questions

How do I start playing HBM's Nuclear Tech without dying immediately?
Begin by crafting a Geiger counter to detect radiation hotspots, then mine regular ores away from any radioactive areas. Build a basic wood-burning generator first to power early machines, and craft a dosimeter to monitor your personal radiation level before attempting to mine uranium or plutonium.
What's the difference between a Geiger counter and a dosimeter?
A Geiger counter detects radiation in the environment around you and helps you find dangerous zones or radioactive ores. A dosimeter tracks how much radiation your character has absorbed internally, warning you when you need to seek medical treatment or protective gear.
How do I get my first power generator running?
Craft a wood-burning generator using basic materials, place it down, and feed it wood or logs to produce power. Connect it to cables and batteries to store and distribute energy to your machines.
Why did my radioactive ore explode when I mined it?
Some radioactive ores are volatile and will explode if exposed to heat or fire; always mine them away from lava and use proper tools. Wear radiation-protective armor and keep a safe distance from heat sources when harvesting these materials.
What armor protects me from radiation?
The mod includes several advanced armor sets with varying levels of radiation protection; equip the highest-tier protective suit available to you before entering heavily contaminated areas. Check your dosimeter frequently to see if your current gear is sufficient.
How do I use the Assembly Machine to make advanced parts?
Place the Assembly Machine as a multiblock structure, insert raw materials and a crafting template, then power it with your energy grid. The machine will process the template and materials into the advanced part specified by that template.
Can I reduce radiation in an area, or is it permanent?
Heavily irradiated areas will transform grass and leaves into dead blocks permanently, but you can use the /hbm_m rad command to manage radiation levels in specific locations. Personal radiation absorbed by your character can be treated or removed through gameplay mechanics.
What happens if I drop a volatile item into fire or lava?
Certain items will explode violently if exposed to heat, creating a massive blast that destroys nearby blocks and deals heavy damage. Always store volatile materials away from heat sources and handle them carefully during transport.
How does the vein miner tool work?
The vein miner breaks entire ore clusters at once instead of single blocks, making it much faster to harvest large deposits. This is especially useful for radioactive ores, though you should still wear protection when using it.
What do I do if I get radiation poisoning?
Remove your contaminated armor, move to a safe area away from radiation sources, and use medical items or treatments available in the mod to reduce your internal radiation level. Your dosimeter will show when you've recovered enough to safely continue.
