Radiation Poisoning

[LostManAbroad]

Where the hell is it coming from? I am only eating super food and drinking electrolyte water, I have the Mk 3 Suit and the Mk 3 Jetpack. Why the hell does the game keep showing me I keep getting Radiation Poisoning?

[Peeto]

I noticed that too. But I have no problem with it, altough I have everything upgraded to MK1 only. Also there is a bug sometimes, when my stamina is decreasing to zero... I go to rest sleep and it keep going down. Thank I need to wake up and go sleep again to make it work as intended.

Are you stood in the rain at all?

[piddlefoot]

Acid rain ! Luv it.
One of the better things in PN keep you on your toes !

It's the rain, stay in your building or mine at that time. I also frooze in the higher terain rain. Raining is seek shelter time.

This is a bit worrying. I hope an option to remove radioactive rain is going to be made in that case.

Having spent the last 12 hours ++ building extensive sea-bases; on the coastal areas where I am it rains nearly all the time (at least once every 10 minutes). In creative mode, no worries, but if I was having to duck out of the rain every 10 minutes it would be seriously game-breaking.
Also it would impact the base-building creativity hugely, since all bases would have to be 100% rain-proof and water-tight. if the rain is radioactive then so must every body of water....too limiting in terms of fun gameplay Imho.

Honestly I don't think your concern is that valid as I have checked and the radiation, while annoying does not affect you enough to break the game if you are somewhere where it rains a lot. You let the radiation build up and once it reaches red then you just get out of it for a bit. Eventually when your base is more established then you can craft anti-rad meds from your medbay.

Annoying enough to hope/ask for it as an option . I personally have a love for open-plan architecture and ocan-type-structures, I don't want my creativity to have to be limited by making everything have to be undercover and on land. When the game starts to have other planets in the far future (with presumably different atmospheric/ecological condition) then less of an issue.

[Craneballs]

The general idea was this: every planet is different, even Earth is radioactive, but animals and humans are used to that. On an alien planet, this is different. Not the dosage that would kill you right away as you have some immunity and the protective suit, but gamble for too long (weakened immunity) and it will start affecting you more.

A WIP for sure. We'll tie it to more direct radiation sources in the future.
