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


== Biomes Affected ==
1. Warning
[[Biomes (Subnautica)|Biomes]] most affected by Radiation are:
* First report about the '''Aurora's''' state. [[File:AuroraAIFirstSpeech.ogg]]
* Crash Zone (Only southwestern edge is free from radiation.)
2. Warning
* [[Bulb Zone]], southern half
* At this stage, the player is advised to begin gathering materials for the [[Radiation Suit]]. [[File:AuroraAISecondSpeech.ogg]]

3. Warning
* It is advised to have a [[Radiation Suit]] at this stage. [[File:AuroraAIThirdSpeech.ogg]]
4. Warning
* The last report about the '''Aurora's''' state. The player now has 23 seconds to craft it and equip it from the beginning of this message. [[File:AuroraAIFourthSpeech.ogg]]
Explosion
* '''Aurora's''' central dark matter reactor reaches a supercritical state, and '''Aurora '''explodes. [[File:AuroraExplosion.ogg]]

==After the Explosion==
After the explosion of the '''Aurora''', '''radiation''' will leak from the drive core and spread to a set distance from the ship (in a radius of 940m around the x=1040 y=-160 coordinates), covering large parts of the game world including the eastern edge of the spawn zone in the [[Safe Shallows]].

The '''radiation''' zone will stay at this range until the player repairs the leaks in the generator room with the [[Repair tool]]<ref>https://trello.com/c/ErApIwNY/2155-l3-define-radiation-radius-for-spaceship ''Dated November 18, 2014.''</ref>. The '''radiation''' zone will dissipate three days after repairing the leaks.

== Biomes Effected ==
Biomes most effected by the radiation are:

Radiation is a damaging effect in Subnautica 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. The player will gradually take damage from Radiation exposure, which will stop once the player exits the Radiation zone. As the player gets closer to the ship the screen will become fuzzy, green, and blurred. The player can craft a Radiation Suit, which when fully equipped with a helmet and gloves, negate all damage from radiation.

Prior to the explosion of the Aurora, the Radiation will have a range of 675m from the point of origin, located at the coordiates (1038, -3.4, -163.1). Following the explosion its radius will grow over time to 950m. At no point will it ever reach Lifepod 5.

The Radiation zone will stay at this range until the player repairs the drive core breaches in the drive room with the Repair Tool. After repairing the leaks, the Radiation zone will disappear completely after three days and ten hours, allowing exploration of the Aurora and the Crash Zone without the Radiation Suit.
