What’s funny is the radiation measure doesn’t make any sense, for “exposure” since that has to be expressed as an intensity/time,
I asked my husband about it since he’s a radiologist and he has to know those things
So it would need to be Sv/hr, Rem/hr, or R/hr (R=Roentgens). Rad just isn’t descriptive enough
Then again Tox is completely made up😁

Rad, Toxic, Heat, Cold

you know what NMS should allow us to do? They should let us take over and own space stations

I assumed toxin is just like, the atmosphere being sulphuric or something

Again without an exposure over time, it likely doesn’t mean a lot

Radiation in Games is very fast acting 😛

tame prawn
#

Well radiation is kinda funny in that sense, similar to the Fallout games it’s treated more like an airborne toxin for gameplay purposes rather than actual radiation

I mean, getting to Airless planets with Toxic or Radiation... Like... How?!

In Fallout the RadAway item is an IV bag. Realistically you’d be hooked up to that disgusting fluid, and it flushes your entire immune system.

So basically double bucket for like 2 days, but because video game it’s like a Rad-Be-Gone caprisun

But that’s why I asked
I said “is this really high” and he said, well depends on how well protected your (mythical) character is (like shielded) and how long you sat around (which is why it’s better to express the dose/time)

# spiral pivot I've been wondering for a bit, has HG ever said why they sort of toned everythin...

Yes. I have heard them say it once in an interview -- I transcribed that part and put it on my blog. Here is what Sean said when Origins landed:

The fundamental thing is that we have this universe that we built, like, four years ago and we released it and we said that thing of, “even we don’t know what’s out there.” But it was true to an extent, right? We didn’t know the kind of planets people were going to start up on and — and then actually that hasn’t been true for the last four years for us. We have a ever evolving game but that universe has been reasonably static, right? The same terrains and biomes and worlds out there to explore. We’ve kind-of calmed them down, actually. We’ve removed some of the craziness [in Atlas Rises and, to a much larger extent, NEXT]. And Origins is kind-of — yes it’s another update — but it’s kind-of a new start for us in some ways. And we wanted to get that across. That this isn’t just — this isn’t an end, it isn’t just, “here is an update with some more content in.” It’s something quite fundamental for us.

This year’s biggest update to Hello Games’ space exploration / survival tile originally released in 2016, Origins is on the scale of previous major updates such as Beyond, NEXT, and Atlas Rises.

“And here we see the wild base computer in its natural environment, waiting for an unsuspecting traveller to attempt to interact with it. It will ensnare the traveller, who will be forced to build a base. Quite why it does this, scientists have yet to determine; it does not appear to offer any survival advantage.” </attenborough>

On my starter planet, I crafted my base computer beside some damaged machinery

Today I got back to my house and I activated the Autophage ping to find a nearby camp on my planet

I can't even start a abandond mode save it won't give me a undiscovered system lmao wtf

Except for the Switch throwing tantrums with megabases. That's the only real flaw

What about settlements causes problems on switch?

That's nice new content you got there it would be a shame if you couldn't do half the stuff on the regular mode lol
