Ambience Radiation Generator (DEPRECATED)

Ambience radiation generator

The Ambience Radiation Generator was a power generation device with no GUI that pulls from environmental sources of radiation to produce small amounts of power constantly, reducing the amount of environmental radiation in the process. This means that it was possible to have a literally infinite source of power by using it in combination with passively radioactive materials, but its output even in the best of cases was far, far below every other single type of existing generator at the time, making it very rarely a practical choice.

Obtaining

Crafted at a crafting table with cheap and easily obtained materials that will be available early in the game.

Usage

Would have actively pulled from current chunk radiation levels and reduce them in return for power output, with a greater amount of power being produced for a greater amount of radiation present. Worked best when placed next to a block which acts as an active source of infinite environmental radiation, such as a radioactive barrel or a piece of corium. Did not absorb all radiation emitted by blocks surrounding it, meaning that radiation from sufficiently radioactive sources may have leaked out from its influence before it could have neutralized it. Due to its strong radiation absorbing properties, yet low power output, it was not particularly useful beyond very early game or for exploits. As such, it was ultimately removed.
