Well, I was poking through the incidents in development mode, and saw the toxic fallout incident. That got me thinking. In the toxic fallout incident, if you aren't familiar with it, any colonists, or animals outside will slowly die due to an accumulation of toxic substances raining down from the atmosphere. Well, theoretically, a similar thing can be done with radioactivity. Im not all too good at modding, I can't write any code to save my life, but Im okayish at reading it, but would it not be possible to have uranium exert a radioactive effect for every x meters? Perhaps a radioactive fallout event can happen, similar to the toxic fallout. It might also be possible to shield your colonists from the radiation with clothing, in a similar way you shield them from the cold. Maybe.
It's all pretty interesting, but it's been years since I coded, any even then, it was in an unrelated language.
