Radiation Effect Nerf #136

Open TommyDong1998 opened 3 years ago

TommyDong1998 commented 3 years ago

People can blow up reactors next to bases and there is no way to counter it. Especially if you are progressing with a different mod. Here are some possible solutions

A potion for people to cure radiation poisoning would reduce the problem.
A futuristic air purifier that reduces radiation
Radiation don't result in instant-death if not close up. Give you defects which result in 1-5 less max hp
Tungsten blocks prevent radiation from spreading (allow people to make nuclear shelters)

If tungsten blocks prevent radiation I think the nuclear plants would be incentivised to look more like the typical hyperboloid shape as well.

What purpose do these serve that is not already filled by hazmat suits and MekaSuit radiation shielding module?

No Tungsten blocks :P #123

I am going to leave this open for now as it is something we are aware of but it doesn't hurt for more people to be aware of, but currently we don't really have many plans for this (besides eventually in V11, trying to make forcefields be able to contain radiation). A couple things to note however:

The strength of the effects of radiation can be modified in the config (including being able to even be able to be entirely disabled)
Personally I would say it is sort of bad manners for someone to put a nuclear reactor directly in your backyard if they are any sort of friend. (iirc the radius of radiation is 80 blocks so it isn't like it is that hard for them to just put it a bit away).

Though yes public servers do exist (or probably) and there isn't a great "anti grief" measure against radiation, but truth be told I am not quite sure if there is really much we can do about that.

If you are progressing with a different mod others can just use radiation to kill you even if you have endgame equipment. Even if you make a switch you would only have hazmat suits for a while.

On the flip side, Mekanism contains numerous other ways to trash an area (obsidian TNT, lasers, clogging someone's chemical network with random chemicals, etc.) that you have bigger issues if people are intentionally dumping radioactive things to poison an area.

Algester commented 3 years ago

Or on the flipper side they can intentionally use mekanism's tools to trash the area while giving you radiation who is not to question using lasers and obisidian TNT to trash your piles of nuclear waste
