Radiological Ballistic Missile for Submarines and other platforms

Description
Radiological ballistic missiles designed to be launched from submarines while submerged up to 50m, and is compatible with a multitude of other launch platform. Has a range of ~100km, enough to reach most of the game world except a few corners. The launcher is 20 blocks tall and 8 blocks wide for your reference.

Comes with installation examples for submarine VLS launchers and aircraft hardpoints.

Operational Notes:
  • If multiple missiles are launched at the same GPS position, they will automatically spread themselves in a pattern to maximize the fallout zone
  • Due to in game physics quirks the missile will only spread radiation if there is a player or an active vehicle near the target zone, or it will harmlessly pass through the ground and sink into the earth
  • It is inaccurate if the target is within 3km, but rest assured, the target position will stilled be covered by radiation
  • If launching from aircraft, try to keep the target position within your forward 90 degree cone
  • If launching from submarines, recommending moving forward slowly and holding a depth of <30m for reliability

Installation Notes:
  • Use the missile's main microcontroller to set which missile is launched when a switch is flipped
  • Must be installed facing up or forwards of the vehicle; if installed in other orientations it may be inaccurate or spin out of control due to in game physics quirks
  • Don't rotate or mirror the missile during installation unless you know what you are doing
  • Has the components needed for terminal radar homing but this is not hooked up
  • It is heavier than water, recommend installing the launchers symmetrically to help keep the submarine balanced

what submarine can i use for this missile

FOR ONCE A BALLISTIC MISSILE ACTUALLY FOLLOWS A BALLISTIC TRAJECTORY!:steamthumbsup:

fun fact these are really hard to shoot down. My interceptor missles bounce off it lol.

i recently remembered these missiles and surprisingly they actually still work, they work very well.
i also thought of a good nickname for these things: OMNICIDE. The meaning of OMNICIDE is the destruction of all life or all human life by nuclear war, sounds quite cool and its meaning fits really well.

Okay, thank you for the quick response :)

Hey Applo it's been a while since i messed with radiation, so I forgot for far it spreads. I am guessing it's about 100m?

How long it lasts is complicated. Each fuel rod contains a certain amount of radiation it could release, and it leaks out when the fuel rod is damaged. When the radiation enters the enivronment it seems to decay? More fuel rods means longer lasting radiation.

There are some ways to irradiate distant locations without player presence is to make each missile its own vehicle, and have a keep active block on it so the terrain spawns in to collide with it.

Another is to damage the fuel rods with a warhead, then have a missile that deploys a parachute to slowly descend at the target area while leaking radiation.

Out of curiosity, what's the range of the Radiation from 1 missile alone, also how long does it last and is there a way to make it emit radiation even if a player isn't near and it falls through the ground?

I think if you increase the weight, you'd have to go into the microcontroller on each missile and increase the engine throttle a little bit. Right now it sits near the bare minimum thrust to save fuel and increase its range.

How would I goabout adding warheads to this missile. I tried adding about 12 small warhead bodies but it landed about 4 km short of a 5km launch distance. Unmodified still works fine.

Sorry the sub is an empty shell, no sure if it will be finished
