Dead from Ignoring the Geigercounter

[Teufelskerl]

Since going through the radioactive waste area, my health just drains away. I can pop pills but as soon as I go to sleep, I'm dead. Did I screw up and stay in there too long? Is anyone else dealing with this?

radiation hurts and builds up
maybe time to be on coffee 24/7 eat great and make your character healthy again.

if you do anythig that skips time now, you probally die cause it hurts you midsleep.

Iodine pills clear 0.1 Sieverts per use, you got 10 per bottle. Buy 3-4 bottles of Iodine and you should be good enough with just painkillers for the rest to clear naturally.

Any Radiation past 1000 (player_stats get in f1 console, doesn't stop achievements from being earned) leads to passive damage over time.

Good to know this can go away. Thanks

Yeah, I ended up with a huge dose, like 50sv, and ended up needing to spend >1000RM on iodine and painkillers just to stay alive, sleeping only in 1 hour increments. I was afraid I bricked my save for awhile, but managed to get through it. Recommend buying the iodine from the doc instead of the pharmacy, cheaper and doesn't run out.
