Questions on the RAD cleanup asset and workers.

[arvcran2]

After having captured an empire's city, I am faced now with the responsibility to protect the people and workers from the high RAD levels present.

The worker's happiness prevents the construction of the key assets to deal with the RADs. Is there a way of providing the workers with RAD protection gear?

The buildings are constantly being damaged and I am unable to determine the cause so far.

Buildings:

The population is running the private sector no problem ... so why is it that the workers are only affected by the RAD issue?

The assimilation level is at 9, which is low, but the danger and unrest is gone.

Why are the buildings getting damaged?

More info ... The 87, 52 HEX has domed Farming should it be getting a RAD modifier? I guess they have to travel to and fro.

Close down any assets you do not need, so what little workers can be hired go to the Rad Protection.

Possibly set them all the way to mothball, to squeze even the maintenance workers out while you work on that priority project.
Starting 4 projects in a new conquered city was definitely not a good idea.

According to "5.2.3.1. exPosure CalCulatIon for your unIts", enve just one Asset should allow you to ignore 400 RAD. How much radiation is there for this to be a issue?

Well the project I had started was the Rail Hub which never got finished - I have to use my patience attribute more effectively next time. Plus I had not the tech to clean up with that asset.

Is there any way of getting available troops with proper safety gear to participate in the work force? Is there a Regime feat or card for that?

BTW thanks for contributing answers! It is appreciated.


Yes, RAD: 511 at the city HEX. I did as you have recommended, to prioritize the clean up by moth balling assets ... I finally have more significant Logistics getting in (yes that is another subject connection: RAD safe logistics) thanks to other Regime efforts! But worker happiness is really down at 7 and I do not see any cards to make them happy, thankfully, as they aught not to go in there unless it is safe. Perhaps the private residents now at 25 CAS are immune to RAD? I think the maintenance requirements were not met, which may explain the building damage issues.

Aside from a few assets, worker upkeep cost is typically 1/11 of maximum production cost, rounded up.

An easy way to bump up worker happiness early on is to start paying them : they even get an immediate +5 happiness per millicredit per worker increase.
(Watch out though, the immediate happiness loss from salary decrease is NOT linear !)
