[CR] Radiation awareness #12620

Closed tvm1 closed 9 years ago

tvm1 commented 9 years ago

We currently have quite few hi-tech CBMs.

If player enters the area with radiation he can collect quite few Sieverts without even knowing (and possibly die afterwards).

My proposal: If the PC is equipped with Dosimeter CBM, give him "audible" feedback when entering irradiated area. Perhaps a beep every five turns or something like that ?

Humans are currently able to manufacture watches that alert you, when the radiation is present. They should be able to handle this in 2040 as well.

I agree for an alarm beep when entering area where the radiation is important, and a message. Leave the rest to the player.

Sounds reasonable to me, there's a geiger counter that more or less gives this effect, so a miniturized and internal one is reasonable.

tvm1 commented 9 years ago

Should we react only to external radiation ? I'd say yes.

Because this thing might become obnoxious quite fast with internal/inventory radiation leaks.
