In The Alters, radiation management hinges on maintaining your base’s defenses and monitoring vital resources. Here’s how to safeguard your crew:

Radiation Barrier: Your Primary Defense

• Activate the barrier via the control panel in the Machinery Room to create a safe zone.
• Characters like Jan will gradually heal while inside the shielded base.

Sustaining the Barrier

• Radiation filters are essential for barrier functionality.
• Check the filter gauge regularly—replace it at 0% durability.
• Craft replacements at the Workshop for 10 Metals + 40 Organics.
• Warning: Turning off the barrier risks rapid radiation buildup indoors.

Healing Radiation Exposure

• If Jan is exposed outdoors, return him to the base immediately.
• He recovers passively during daytime activities or sleep, provided the barrier remains active.
• Crafting, social interactions, and indoor tasks do not interrupt healing.
