Environmental Rads
Environmental Rads is an addon for NuclearCraft that introduces configurable background radiation that varies by dimension.
Currently available for Underhaul version only.
Key Features
- Configurable background radiation for each dimension
- Realistic radiation absorption by blocks based on their hardness
- Atmospheric radiation absorption simulation with customizable start and end heights, providing gradual reduction of received radiation dose
Practical Applications
- Excellent combination with space exploration mods like Galacticraft or Advanced Rocketry, enhancing realism and encouraging construction of shielded extraterrestrial bases
- Perfect for custom maps or use with biome-altering mods to create highly irradiated surface wastelands
- Makes skybases and high-altitude living more hazardous
Future Plans
- Separation of radiation level update cycles from NuclearCraft settings
- Addition of energy extraction capability from radiation
- World damage and degradation at high radiation levels
- Customizable radiation absorption overrides for individual blocks
- Delayed onset of radiation exposure for preparation period
- Implementation of radiation "cycles" - alternating periods with different radiation levels
- Radiation storms similar to Fallout 4, requiring shelter
- Compatibility with Advanced Rocketry's atmospheric density system
- Optional radiation spread through adjacent blocks to increase wall importance
- Possible radiation checks along all world axes
- Radiation level configuration for individual biomes
