Radiology Mod

Author of the Radiology Mod: mlie

Radiology Mod introduces a radiation system that allows you to expose colonists and prisoners to controlled irradiation, resulting in powerful mutations or dangerous side effects such as burns and cancer.

Radiology Features

Radiation System

Access a new research tab dedicated to radiology, unlocking buildings and mechanics that let you experiment with radiation:

  • Construct irradiation chambers using a Chamber platform and Irradiator devices.
  • Assign pawns to be exposed to radiation through the Chamber interface.
  • Design enclosed setups to control radiation flow and effects.

Radiation Customization

Control the type and focus of radiation applied:

  • Filters: Adjust radiation type between normal, rare (higher chance of rare mutations), and burn (causes burns).
  • Blockers: Target specific body parts for irradiation.

Mutations and Effects

Radiation exposure can lead to a variety of outcomes:

  • Beneficial mutations that enhance abilities or grant unique traits.
  • Negative consequences such as burns, permanent injuries, or cancer.
  • New mutations and systems such as mutation monitoring and radiation extenders.
