Uranium

Uranium is an ore that can be obtained from resource nodes but does not currently serve any purpose. It is used to make Nuclear Fuel Rods.

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 unpowered), the Radiation radius is ~30m. Conveyor Belts and Storage Containers don't protect from Radiation, making it a ~60m radius.

Radiation from belts 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 sligtly distorted, an icon will appear next to the health bar, and it will make noises (and beeps when it's extremely strong).

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

Obtaining
Uranium can be harvested by hand or by placing a miner on a resource node.

There are currently 4 Uranium resource nodes in-game; All 4 are Normal Purity.
