Radiation poses an ongoing risk in this survival scenario, requiring constant vigilance. Prolonged exposure or entering hazardous zones can rapidly escalate health risks. Below are mitigation strategies for severe contamination.

Radiation recovery methods

Prioritize activating protective shielding via the Machinery room console. Locate the right-side panel to manage filtration systems. Fresh filters must replace depleted units when their efficiency drops entirely. Maintain surplus filters and enable automatic replacement unless materials become critically scarce. Temporarily disabling protection might be necessary during resource crises, allowing limited exposure while prioritizing material collection.

Deactivated shielding affects all personnel. When poisoning symptoms appear, immediately verify system functionality. Fabricating new filters requires 10 Metal units and 40 Organic compounds at the workshop. Surface operations inevitably cause contamination, but extended shelter stays gradually reduce radiation levels. Survivors working externally can offset exposure through indoor rest periods and sleep cycles.
