Radiated mushrooms are easy to find at night

The glow does make them much easier to spot from a distance. Too bad there's not really a use for them. I used one to craft the smoothie for the challenge. All the others just sit in a box.

The tooltip for one of them said you'd get a speed buff from it in the biome (thinking I saw the one for snow). Not entirely useless, if not that big either. But if you got the acid to splurge...

I've got shoes that give me a permanent 20% boost. A 3 minute boost isn't that important, but no you are correct, they are not completely useless. They could be better though. At least the regular mushrooms from the burnt forest can be used in food.

Makes me think that the radiated mushrooms should be used for more than just as a crafting ingredient for the Atomic Smoothie. Seems like a waste to me.

This gave me an idea. Radiated soil only found in the Wasteland. Can not be dug up and is a very rare spawn. so if you want to farm them you must be living in the Wasteland or at least have the badge. Storms also have a chance to "wipe" away the mushrooms.

I like that. And when you dig it it has a chance of spawning bees.

Make it able to be dug to craft radiated farm plots or something, and I'd rather like this idea. I just don't like the idea of having to run all over the biome to harvest my farm, if the radiated mushrooms were actually useful for anything.

Of course, if we're talking patches of radiated soil, instead of just single blocks, that might be a reasonable compromise.

Patches, yes ^^
 
Them being easier to spot/find at night is a good example of how to get players to play riskier situations/areas without some arbitrary loot cap or whatever. I actually like it with these shrooms and hope the devs apply that approach in the future
