I am fine with these changes IF you bring the following things too.
1: Engineering with set engines that will produce radiation (Singularity Engine/Nuclear Reactor) will get some new devices besides Geiger Counters. Sensors that will detect radiation flowing out of the "zone" it is allowed in.
While we see rads fly out of the reactor into the rest of the station... mostly engineering ignores it until everyone shouts at them.
If we go more stealthy, we need some "radiation sensor array" around the nuclear reactor and if a specific level of radiation goes beyond that level (aka particle flies too far out), Engineering will get a ping saying: "Radiation leak alert"
These can also be made by mechcomp as a new tool. Rad-detectors.
Yes maps who DO NOT have these things standard these engines will NOT have these detectors installed and have to be with Mech-comp to have this safety net.
2: We need a new flavor text for examining people to check for "radiation sickness"
Essentially like how it says: "Looks bruised up" "looks a lil burned up" , for rad damage/toxin damage we don't get anything... So I think we need some hints would be nice if someone examines the effected and go: "Ooh you may have some rads...
3: Can we for the love of kot.... have a species that thrives on rads? Roaches used to be 100% immune (wich was funny but I do like the current roach being very minorly damaged by it, but it still annoying for them.)
And I say species yes... so it can be critters or antags. I was thinking Arcfiends THRIVE off radiation or are immune.. like changelings do not need to breathe air. That way Arcfiends are more likely to increase engine outputs to the extreme since it gives them more power. Heck maybe them being irridated gives them a temporarely radiation damage bonus to their abillities... but it also makes them VERY OBIVIOUS in Arcfiendness (so still avoid if you want to be stealthy)
