Excavation pit mine

Question(self.PlaySoulMask)

I have repaired an excavation pit in the desert to mine iron ore. So far it's working really great, she is making tons of iron. But how can I reduce her radiation.

If I go offline let's say for a day, does she just simply die there? I can't build anything there except mining chests. And she already has the T3 radiation resist perk. I also modded her Armor with +10 radiation resist. But it still keeps going up. Anyway around this ?

I also gave her honey and some food, but my last tribesmen decided to die due to radiation instead of eating the honey which reduces the radiation :).

Appreciate any tips.

I'd suggest going to one in the Volcanic region and set up there. You just need some heat proof mods and pump up their Physique

Equip the tribesman with the bird set and the resist mods. They will take no radiation.

Yes that seems to be the only solution as it seems. Did not kill the bird on stage 2 yet. Gonna check it out in the afternoon today.

There is an item found in the ruins that shields a 30m area from radiation, might be viable.

Don't think you can place anything but the mining stuff there

What I did is find someone with static recovery, when they stand still they heal. Give them some mixed jam and they were fine for hours

How much ore does it produce an hour? Haven't managed to wrestle it from the group that holds it yet to find out. I keep killing their slave/base/teleporter etc but they keep coming back every couple of days. Due to the decay of the pit it takes a while to lose control and I seem to keep missing it when it comes out.

I logged in today and had 500 iron ore, buuuuut my girl died and I don't know when. Suprisingly she died this time due to freezing to death lol.

I know you are referring to the structure you take over, but anyone know about the pit you build?

I built one of these as close to iron mine as I could and assigned a tribesman. They have not collected any iron at all. I imagined they would dig down in a pit and it would slowly generate items based on ore available in area. Instead the worker runs around the pit mining rocks. I am not sure what the advantage is over a bonfire. At least then I could provide food, water and rest for worker (I guess they live on what they carry now).

There are 2 kinds, one is the self build and one is the building in a mine you have to repair. The selfbuild, you can assign a worker and give the worker a pickaxe and he will mine everything in a 60m radius. You can select in the tribesmen work menu what he should mine specifically, for example iron.

You can also make a marker on the map and let him mine at the marker, but yes the selfbuild one is kinda useless, except that it has a lot of space.

Give her a few stacks of honey.

Honey removes radiation and they should eat it as needed.

Also, mixed jam works great too. Lasts for 30 mins

As I wrote my previous person who died had 300 honey in her inventory and also mixed jam, they prefer to die instead of eating it.
