|---|
| | | the preferred materials are metals, the denser the better. Iron and |
|---|
| | | steel halve radiation in 1.1 m, copper in 1.0 m, and silver in 0.95 m. |

| | | Lead would halve in 0.69 m if it were in the game, but it's not, which |
|---|
| | | poses a bit of a problem due to the drawbacks of the three materials in |
|---|
| | | the game that are better shielding than silver. Gold halves radiation |

| | | Lead would halve in 0.69 m (its in-game shielding value is 80). Gold halves radiation |
|---|
| | | in 0.53 m (factor of 3.7 per meter), but is a bit scarce to use for |
|---|
| | | this purpose. Uranium halves radiation in 0.31 m (factor of 9.4 per |
|---|
| | | meter), but is itself radioactive. The very best shielding in the game |
|---|
| | | is nyancat material (nyancats and their rainbow blocks), which halves |
|---|
| | | radiation in 0.22 m (factor of 24 per meter), but is extremely scarce. |

| | | |
|---|
| | | The hydro generator is an LV power generator that generates a small amount |
|---|
| | | of power from the natural motion of water. To operate, the generator must |
|---|
| | | be horizontally adjacent to water. It doesn't matter whether the water |
|---|
| | | consists of source blocks or flowing blocks. Having water adjacent on |
|---|
| | | more than one side, up to the full four, increases the generator's output. |
|---|
| | | The water itself is unaffected by the generator. |
|---|
| | | The hydro generator is an LV power generator that generates a respectable |
|---|
| | | amount of power from the natural motion of water. To operate, the |
|---|
| | | generator must be horizontally adjacent to flowing water. The power |
|---|
| | | produced is dependent on how much flow there is across any or all four |
|---|
| | | sides, the most flow of course coming from water that's flowing straight |
|---|
| | | down. |
