About this mod
Transforms the Fog consuming Far Harbor into the bonafide radioactive threat that everyone claims it to be, instead of a minor nuisance. Be sure to pack some extra Rad-X and RadAway!

The Fog that threatens to consume Far Harbor is spoken of in divine reverence, mortal fear, and scientific curiosity. It's a pretty cool environmental factor that makes exploring the island off the coast of Maine that much more foreboding and atmospheric. However, when walking through the Fog, it didn't feel as though the gameplay had matched up with the story. The radiation wasn't nearly strong enough to be considered a real danger to the island. Walking into the Fog should not only be a battle against the crazy mutant fish monsters that hide within it, but from the 'madness inducing' Fog itself.
Y'know, like how the NPCs describe it.
This mod makes two simple, and effective, changes to the way the Fog operates:
First, it boosts the consistent rad strength of the Fog from 3 rads/sec to 15 rads/sec. This may seem like a big boost, but with basic radiation protection (combat armor, a gas mask, perks, etc) it really isn't. With typical mid/endgame gear, that wasn't specialized in radiation resistance, I was getting 1/>1 rads/sec. Only when I stripped my character naked did I actually get to 3 rads/sec.
Second, it expands the radius in which the Fog afflicts radiation at full potency. There's a dropoff in lethality the further you move away from where a Fog "Hazard" is placed (same goes for any radiation source), and by making it larger, I think it should sell the whole 'consuming the island' thing a bit more organically.
1.1 Update: Now includes an NMM Installer so you can choose the level of radiation potency you'd like! Options are 5, 10, 15 (classic), 25, 50, 75 and 100. There is also a Hardcore option, which features 20 rads/sec and a -2 PER/INT debuff while walking through the fog! Better bring some mentats! :D
Compatibility:
This mod is compatible with any mod that doesn't alter the formIDs DLC03FogRadiationHazardLight and DLC03FogRadHazardFX512.
