I get the oil, but why the nuclear material? (Nodding donkey cash shop item)

[AtmaDarkwolf]

Can anyone explain how candles produce nuclear waste?

[globefish23]

It's strange indeed.

Maybe it's a mistake and it was supposed to be oil and acid.
Beeswax harvested from beehives or honeybeasts can be scrapped into acid.
(Incidentally, those are the resources required to produce fuel, which gets used a lot with the Cremator.)

Maybe the machine runs exclusively with wax from glowing honeybeasts.

Lanterns and some waxes often used animal fats as their base.

(*Check out the half life of radiation in ecosystems and how it is transferred from one organism to another. The dogs and adversely the pigs of Chernobyl are a good place to look if you're interested.)

Thus, irradiated candles.

that, gold can be found even in sea water, nuclear material is widely available that with a good enough sieve you can get it forever just from eating and well defecating.

Ghoul farmin'

[AtmaDarkwolf]

yea but.. by them arguments then EVERYTHING in the game should produce nuclear material when scraped. It does not. Hence the question.

How can a candle dipping machine produce any sensible amount of nuclear waste? (At most it should be like everything else, trace amounts at most)

[314elppa]

candle = nuke

[Treyen]

ah yes, realism in fallout. first time around the wasteland?

[The Bayroog]

Irradiated beeswax? My question is, why isn't everything nuclear waste and instead of a cool mutation why dont I have stage 3 cancer?

[The Bayroog]

Personally I use the irradiated beeswax to seal any gaps in my asbestos floor - it helps keep the fallout from dusting up my carpeting

[314elppa]

sometimes when i am feeling down i like to eat irradiated mushrooms, the experience is x20 and it lasts for 10 years

[Potches]

If bees are making their honey from poisonous plants, the honey will make you sick. I assume the same applies to an irradiated world

[Wack-A-Mole MLRS]

i LOVE IT. It's a left over by-product from making all that wax into candles from the filthy wax you got from killing those sweet little bees.

I have had mine sense they first came out and it seems slow but I have been getting a little of each.
