Hardcore Radiation Storms
This mod makes Radiation Storms a force to be reckoned with!
The radiation damage from each lightning strike has been raised to 50 from vanilla’s base value of 5. This means without adequate protection you will suffer whilst in a radstorm. The Glowing Sea radiation storms are also slightly more powerful, at 60 radiation damage per strike.
