Just for clarification, does this affect water sources in exterior locations? (i.e. a lake from which I draw water with my hands in survival mode to drink instantly.)
I didn't notice an immediate difference for comparison.
That would be pretty hardcore and immersive, like Revelations, you drink the water an die, gotta get it bottled, from the settlement menu items, or drink nuka cola.
Okay! I'll make 2 versions, an extreme version where drinking water literally kills you (800 rads as you said xD) and a midway version that adds like 30 rads for normal, with the highest radiation being about 100 rads
Yeah, it affects the actual water 'spell' so this doesn't actually affect the pumps; it affects what it outputs. That's why I mentioned that the hardcore version isn't lorefriendly, because clean water fountains and water pumps (one should be clean, the other not so much) both give out the same output.
I'm sure I could've done it in a better way, but this way adds it to every source ever and I don't have to select each seperate one. That's why I think the normal version is best, because otherwise you can't really use pumps; aside from in survival mode ofc, because when you bottle the water from the pumps it gives you purified water. Sorry if that explanation made no sense, I'm tired haha
So, as long as water is drank from the water pumps and water bottles (even dirty water bottles) it's safe, but if you go in the water, it's dangerous 800+ rads, am I right?
I get it from a game balance perspective, but there would never be that kind of level of radiation in the water that long after a nuclear war. It's estimated that people could safely come up after 1 year or less and to filter water only requires moving it through a few feet of soil. I just realized I'm a nerd and I'm being "that guy". Apologies, I'll move on.
Hahah no you're not being 'that guy' dw, I do agree! However I'm pretty sure that Fallout's science doesn't follow real world science, so while this mod may not be accurate in our world it could be in theirs :P
Hmm, that's interesting, because compared the the level of radiation here in the Fallout universe, we're talking bombs from everywhere at a tsar bomb level. Actually in reality there probably wouldn't any 'buildings' from the past still standing, because everything would be a desert of dust. In fact, fallout new vegas would possibly be the more accurate depiction of what the earth would look like after, also it might be either deathly hot, or terribly cold. The sky would be like the dinosaur's demise, cloudy and the sun can't reach us. That radiation might last some decades before we're able to get a healthy tree again
Always wanted a mod that would randomly decide that a certain pool of water had become totally poisonous or whatever for a while so as to emulate just how bad things can get. This helps increase the immersion closer to my dream mod. lol

That's only for true hardcore experts.
edit: done!
