Uranium

The Uranium is a type of ore that can used to make Nuclear Fuel Rods in the future version.

Radiation
An untouched Uranium node doesn't give off any Radiation. When a Miner is put on the Node the Radiation starts, even if the Miner is not powered. the Radiation radius is ~30m. Uranium also emits radiation on Conveyor Belts and Storage Containers, making it a ~60m radius.

Radiation from belts, storages and miners damages very slowly (around 2 points per minute), but picking it up will kill you in seconds.

While Radiation is in effect, the screen will become slightly distorted, a radioactive icon will appear next to the health bar, and it will make noises (and beeps when it's extremely strong).

In Tier 7, Radioactivity Resistant Suit can be unlocked alongside nuclear power. Having the suit on won't stop the noises, but will prevent the wearer from taking any Radiation damage.

Obtaining
Uranium can be harvested by hand or by placing a Miner on the Uranium Resource Nodes.

There are currently 4 Uranium resource nodes in-game; all 4 are Normal purity. This means the upper limit of harvest rate is 2400 Uranium/min (Mk3 miners, 250% overclock, Mk6 belt).
