## About The Pull Request Adds a new station trait: Radioactive Nebula! The station is located inside a radioactive nebula. Space background and lighting is different shades of green. Objects in space will also glow green. (This is kinda lying, since the glowing stuff isn't radioactive, you just get an element that slowly irradiates you, though people and certain objects that get the 'IRRADIATED' status may still double-whammy you) Do not go into space without rad-protected gear, or you will get very sick very fast. RAD-protection MODsuit modules spawn in robotics and are also immediately researched. The nebula does protect against external threats, like pirates, ninja's and nukies. They can still get to the station pretty well, but they can't stay in space for extended periods of time To make it more livable, public rad protection gear will spawn in lockers around the station. Everyone will also spawn with potassium iodide pills in their emergency box. Dynamics threat is also reduced by 30, so there's a proclivity towards more lower threat rounds when the radioactive nebula is present. Radioactive resonance virus cannot be generated though, since it kinda obliterates any and all challenge and threat  **Shielding**  In order to protect the station from radiation, nebula shielding units need to be constructed. Five spawn ready-to-built in engineering, and more can be bought pretty cheap from cargo. (Normal radstorms are disabled) The gravity generator has 20 minutes of innate shielding, where every nebula shielding unit adds another 20 minutes. 5 are needed to completely block all radiation even when the gravity gen is down, but constructing more is recommended in-case of sabotage/destructions/power outtages. Active nebula shielding will passively generate tritium. You can either vent/ignore this, or use it for something. I'm not an atmos tech but I'm sure you can do something with it _What happens when no shielding units are constructed/they all fail?_ The station will suffer a 5 minute long radiation storm, with only shuttles being excempt. The storm is nerfed strongly, and you can tank the 5 minutes, but you'll be pretty sick. After the 5 minutes are over, central command will send an emergency shielding unit which will block the radiation for 10 minutes and warn the station to set up nebula shielding. ## Why It's Good For The Game The station being inside a radioactive nebula shakes up a pretty major aspect of the game (that being the 'space' in space station 13). Hallway decals are colored green, display screens will display radiation markings, carps blend with the nebula, etc. Putting the station inside a radioactive nebula shakes up the rules of the game and what people can expect. Suddenly, you can no longer just go outside without taking meds or getting proper radiation protection, encouraging people to stay cozy and inside.  Inside, the crew gets the goal to set-up radiation shielding to defend themselves against the nebula, rewarding a creative engineering department with passive resource income and protecting the station against massive radiation storms. I think it's nice to give engineering something to set up. Even if they don't care, they can just plop it down somewhere in a closed room and be done with it. The radiation storm is pretty aggressive, but very survivable if you use your potassium iodide pills, the extra radiation suits or whatever chemistry has whipped up. Most importantly, it gives the entire station a common enemy: the nebula. Everyone is encouraged to prepare against the mechanics. Chemistry can make meds, viro can make protective virusses, robotics gets encouraged to make radprotected MODsuits, engineering gets to set-up radiation shielding, assistants can look at space or whatever assistants do. <details> <summary>Cool images</summary>     </details> ## Changelog 🆑 add: Adds a new rare radioactive nebula station trait!
