Radiation

Radiation is a damaging effect that surrounds the Aurora. Once the player enters the radiation zone, a warning will appear on the HUD and the noise of a Geiger counter can be heard. As the player gets closer to the ship the screen will become fuzzy. However the player can craft a Radiation Suit using two Lead and two Silicone Rubber which will protect against radiation.

AI warnings before the Explosion:

Aurora has a built-in AI which reports the Aurora's state before the explosion.

After the Explosion

After the explosion of the Aurora, radiation will leak from the drive core and spread to a set distance (about 420m) around Aurora after the explosion. The radiation zone will then cover large parts of the game world and also put the eastern edge of the spawn zone in safe shallows into the radiation.

The radiation zone will stay at this range until the player repairs the leaks in the generator room with the Welder. The radiation zone will dissipate three days after repairing the leaks.
