how do i mine uranium without dying

[MJS WARLORD]

I withing 60 metres of a uranium mine and i die even with a hazmat suit on so how do i mine it and set up the conveyor to my base without continually dying.

Also if uranium is so lethal does that mean my whole base will become contaminated

You also need Iodine infused filters in your inventory to protect you from the radiation.

And yes, wherever irradiated items travel, there will be radiation. Recommend you keep them a fair distance away from anywhere you plan to walk through frequently.

ok thanks

Don't get any radioactive stuff into your base. In the worst case if you die you will then die on respawning.
Have the nuclear stuff far away in a remote location which you aren't going to visit or want to build anything else in it.

i have everything in the supply line set ready to run as soon as i connect up the belt but i am beginning to doubt if nuke power is work the hassle

Build a lookout tower a fair distance away, and build your miner/belts from there.
Transport radioactive materials via drones.
Build everything far away from anywhere you might like to be.

DO NOT PUT THE SHINY ROCKS IN YOUR POCKET.

I hope that means that you also have the waste processing set up with sinking the Plutonium Fuel Rods.

watch out for doggo's, they sometimes give you the spice

not unlocked the machine that processes the rods yet ,

In that case I highly recommend to hold off of nuclear power until you unlocked Particle Enrichment and built the needed stuff for the processing of the Uranium waste into Plutonium Fuel Rods which you then should sink in the Awsome Sink (as if you otherwise use them as fuel they will produce Plutonium waste and this you won't get rid off unless you kill Lizard doggos or store them somewhere forever).

Kill the Doggo if it does!

thanks for help guys

i have a plan for later , when i run out of things to do i will move the building that needs to be fed with uranium next to the reactors , i will then make a tall tower with vertical belts in it to go high enough to be safe at ground level , once everything is up and running i wont need to enter that area again ..... well thats the plan , as to if it will work i guess time will tell.

automate the production of the iodine filters and make a storage next to the entrance of your nuclear area. Make a double entrance with this storage in between
