NuclearCraft Radiation Mechanics

NuclearCraft features a realistic radiation system where radiation is tracked per player and per chunk. Radiation is measured in Rads.

• Background Radiation: Naturally occurring low-level radiation.
• Item Radiation: Radioactive items (like Uranium or Plutonium) emit radiation while in the inventory.
• Chunk Radiation: Reactors and spilled radioactive fluids contaminate the environment.

Effects of Radiation

As a player accumulates Rads, they suffer worsening debuffs:

1. 200 Rads: Weakness I
2. 400 Rads: Mining Fatigue I, Hunger I
3. 600 Rads: Poison I
4. 800 Rads: Wither I
5. 1000 Rads: Instant Death

Protection and Treatment

• Geiger Counter: Used to measure radiation levels in the player and the current chunk.
• Hazmat Suit: Provides significant radiation resistance when worn as a full set.
• Radiation Shielding: Can be applied to any armor in a crafting table using Lead, Iron, or Graphite.
• Rad-Away: A chemical consumable that removes accumulated Rads from the player.
• Rad-X: Increases the player's radiation resistance for a limited time.
• Radiation Scrubber: A multiblock machine that removes radiation from the chunk it is placed in.
