Radiation and Health
First of all, I have to say a BIG thank you for creating such an awesome mod!

Now on to my question:

I have seen some videos and they show pawns taking radiation. What effects does radiation cause to the health of those pawns? Also, does a pawn that absorbed radiation have a higher chance of getting a carcinoma in a body part in the future? Does water shield from radiation like it would do in real life, and what else can you build to shield from radiation?

radiation causes radiation poisoning, it will heal over time but if it builds up to 100% then it switches to fatal radiation poisoning which slowly kills the pawn over a couple of days. Radiation poisoning increases disease rates like toxic fallout, there's also dna damage which lasts their lifetime and increases cancer rates. The storage pool is filled with water which allows you to safely store spent fuel, and any type of wall can absorb radiation, with the amount absorbed being based on the walls hp, 1000 hp absorbs 100% of radiation, anything less reduces it by a percentage per cell that i has to travel through

That sounds great. Thank you for the information and again thank you for creating many awesome must-have mods that I wouldn't play the game without like Bad Hygiene, Rimefeller and Rimatomics!

Will this DLC guy ever recover? Note he is deathless:

Fatal Radiation Exposure (dead)
Deathresting

I keep seeing him get burn damage even though he is deathresting - it heals seconds later.
