Plutonium is a red/orange ore that is highly radioactive, getting to close to it can result in damage being taken over time. One plutonium chunk is equal to 500 nuts.
Uranium is a green ore that is less radioactive than plutonium, but still can cause long lasting damage. One uranium chunk is equal to 350 nuts.
A Geiger Counter can be used to detect radioactivity in the mines. If it’s green, it’s safe. If it’s yellow, proceed with caution. If it’s red, go the opposite direction where the radioactivity is. 1 Geiger Counter costs 999 nuts. The Geiger Counter is 5 research points on the tech tree.
A hazmat mask (not the cosmetic) can be used to not succumb to the effects of radiation. 1 hazmat mask costs 1499 nuts. The hazmat mask is 3 research points on the tech tree.
