CyanideSandwich Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Sometimes when I'm mining pretty deep, I get the "Radiation" status effect, which effects health in a similar way to the "Wither" effect. Why does this happen? Does it mean I'm close to uranium or something? I play single player, so it can't be from another player's nuke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSteve Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I think it uranium has a chance when mined to be "wasted" which gives off radiation or something. Not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanideSandwich Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 I think I may have figured it out. In one of my chests at home, I found some "Radioactive Material". I don't know if that's what was causing the radiation, but it's since been removed from the premises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiroyakamotosan Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I would say it's most likely from upgrading to 1.0.8 from a world created before 1.0.8. In the Atomic Science mod, the block IDs for radioactive material and uranium were swapped in that update. Thus, any uranium that was already present in the world got switched to radioactive material and vice versa. Any new chunks would generate normally.

Cerulan Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 You'd think the modpack devs would notice this and change the config files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiroyakamotosan Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 They know about it, there's no plans to change it back. I've already talked to them on the bug forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimsus Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 No one is being a chump. Go check this out to fix it: http://forum.calclavia.com/index.php?threads/converting-1-0-7-map-to-1-0-8-1-0-9.213/ It's an easy fix that doesn't require changing the .jar files.

ThrillBird Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 actually regular Uranium Ore(or Uraninite Ore as it's called now) gives off radiation, so there is a chanse of getting poisoned while mining if there are uranium nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voidcreeper_ Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 yh im pretty sure its the uranite after losing my server i made a new one and as soon as i went to y 12 i started getting raidated and whilst i was mining i found uranite very close by probably gives off radiation in a certain proximity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
