Pitch-Black Nights & Radiation Suit Protection

0.4.0
9 October 2026
Areas
12 changes in this update

Added

6 changes
World & Lighting

  • Pitch-black Legacy nights - Recalibrated ambient light (0.001) and moon light intensity (0.005) for authentic pitch-black Legacy nights where torches and campfires are vital

  • Night fog & reflection extinction - Fog color and sky reflection cubemaps now dynamically fade down to complete blackness as night falls

Player & Radiation

  • Radiation Suit protection curve - A full Rad Suit (140 protection) completely shields against standard rad zones (≤ 600 rads/min: Small Rad Town, Hangars, Tanks) and significantly mitigates extreme radiation zones (Big Rad Town, Rad Factory)

Admin & Teleport

  • Landmark teleport grid - Brand new two-column teleport menu in Admin Menu with interactive category filter pills (All, Rad Zones, Regions)

  • 11 Rad Town & Monument locations - Instant teleports to all authentic Legacy rad zones with danger badges (Big Rad Town, Rad Factory, Small Rad Town, Hangars, Tanks, Split Town, Bunkers)

  • 9 Region & Valley locations - Instant teleports to iconic valleys and peaks (Hacker Valley North/South, French Valley, Next Valley, Resource Valley, East Coast, Mt. Everust)

Improved

4 changes
World & Lighting

  • Tonemapping auto-exposure - Enforced disabled auto-exposure on night scenes so post-processing does not artificially brighten dark nights

Player & Radiation

  • Metabolic radiation decay - Increased natural radiation recovery rate to 10 rads/s, matching Legacy's 800 rads/min metabolization rate

  • Geiger audio vs exposure - Geiger counter click rate accurately tracks environmental radiation intensity while screen grain reflects mitigated exposure

Visuals

  • Radiation screen noise calibration - Calibrated camera Film Grain with a soft response (0.45) and capped intensity to faithfully recreate Legacy's NoiseAndGrain screen filter

Fixed

2 changes
World & Lighting

  • Night scene brightening - Fixed camera auto-exposure brightening nighttime into artificial daylight across the island

Visuals

  • Radiation wash-out - Fixed excessive screen grain blowing out highlights and blinding players when exploring rad towns
