If you will be using a radbolt generator (not the manual one) then you need to place it in an area with a lot of rads. I usually do lots of the early research on the manual generator (partly because the more advanced setup needs a lot of power and partly because setting it up takes a while and I'm lazy.) I switch over the the radbolt generator at the latest when research starts requiring hundreds of points per unlock. You can of course research lots of stuff with the manual radbolt generator if you want, it just ties up a dupe and uses uranium ore. (And even before you dig it up it only emits small amounts of radiation.) Once dug up, uranium ore is rad-free and fine for dupes to handle. (Some maps have it, if yours doesn't you can check the planet you can teleport to.)ĭigging up a few tiles of uranium ore is enough if you just want to get some of the early things researched. If you are using a manual radbolt generator then you will need Uranium Ore to generate radbolts. (You can also research a tile that lets radbolts pass through it, making it possible to shoot them from beneath the terminal.) For instance by placing your radbolt generator below and to the left of your materials study terminal. One way to keep a researching dupe out of harms way when firing radbolts into a materials study terminal is to fire them at an angle. Note: A radbolts rad value decreases slightly as it travels, so the actual value you get out of one radbolt depends on how far it has to travel to get to the research terminal.Īnother note: according to the wiki you can also use enriched uranium ore for the manual radbolt generator, which would generate a radbolt worth 25 rabdolt points. If the materials study terminal is full and you shoot more radbolts at it, they will spin around a bit in the terminal and then continue on in the direction they were heading when entering the machine. The materials study terminal can store 100 points worth of radiation. So make sure to check the direction thing mentioned in the previous note.Ī radbolt shot from the radbolt generator will be worth (or contain) 50 radbolt pointsĪ radbolt shot from the manual generator will be worth (or contain) 5 radbolt points Shooting them into a dupe is a bad thing. Note: both generators let you decide what direction you want them to shoot the radbolts.Īnother note: shooting radbolts into a materials study terminal is a good thing.
