Day of Meat: Radiation

Day of Meat: Radiation tracks radiation exposure as its own meter alongside health and hunger, which changes how you plan a scavenging run: a bunker packed with supplies can still be a losing trade if getting to it means soaking up more radiation than your gear can filter out.

Crafting gear from scavenged materials is worth prioritizing before pushing into the most irradiated zones rather than after, going in underprepared tends to trade supplies gained for health and radiation resistance lost, a bad exchange rate this early. Mutated creatures react differently to noise and light than ordinary enemies would, so approaching a bunker quietly rather than clearing it loudly usually keeps a scavenging run from turning into a fight you didn't need to have. Zombie Siege Outbreak covers similar scavenge-and-survive tension against a different kind of threat.
