Fallout Protocol

TV Fallout Protocol is a gameplay/worldgen mod built for a Fallout-style survival experience: a devastated Overworld, radiation exposure, and rare safe pockets (oases). Designed for The Nova Matrix: Terminal Velocity ecosystem, but usable in other packs.

Key Features

• Eco-collapse Overworld: vegetation is stripped and terrain is sterilized during worldgen for a true wasteland vibe.

• Oasis regions: rare pockets of life that function as safer zones.

• Radiation Exposure System

  • Exposure accumulates over time in unsafe conditions.

  • PPE = full armor set: when you’re wearing a full suit, you still gain exposure but radiation effects are suppressed.

  • Armor acts as your timer: radiation damages all worn armor pieces over time — better armor lasts longer because it has more durability.

• Shelter logic

  • Safe depth reduces exposure over time.

  • Optional “hardened shelter” behavior using shielding blocks (configurable).

• Spawn Bunker

  • A simple spawn bunker is generated so players don’t start helpless in open radiation zones.

Configuration

Config file: config/tvfalloutprotocol-common.toml
Important knobs:

• Oasis frequency / radius

• Base radiation rate + indoor/outdoor multipliers

• Armor wear rate from radiation dose

• Safe depth threshold

Compatibility Notes

• Intended for NeoForge on Minecraft 1.21.1.

• If you use heavy worldgen mods, start with the included world preset, then layer mods in gradually.

Roadmap (planned)

• Better bunker structure (NBT structure template)

• More environmental storytelling (rubble, craters, POI hooks)

• Additional radiation interactions (consumables, filters, decon blocks)
