How to survive Magnetic Storms in The Alters

On my long overland trek, about a few days in, I stumble upon the chaotic event known as Magnetic Storm. As this storm hits, chaos ensues, and it’s my job, alongside Jan and our collective selves, to do whatever it takes to safeguard our base from its destructive wrath.

What happens during Magnetic Storms?

Here’s what you can expect during a Magnetic Storm:

• Radiation sickness accumulates faster if you’re outside.
• The base’s radiation shielding will also require more power, which means it will use up your Radiation Filters in the Machinery Room at an alarming rate.
• Modules and sections of the base will incur damage, so Jan and his clones need to be on top of any repair duties.
• All alters will work extended shifts, but this won’t affect their morale or happiness since everyone’s survival is of the utmost importance.

In case the supply of Radiation Filters runs out and no more can be made beforehand, it means that Jan and his team will unfortunately perish due to lack of protection against radiation.

The Magnetic Storm Analysis tech

As an ardent enthusiast of The Alters, here’s a tip for navigating those intense Magnetic Storms: Always be ready! Start by delving into the intricacies of the Magnetic Storm Analysis technology at the Research Lab. If you happen to have a Scientist on your team, ensure they’re dedicated to this project until its completion.

This specific technology alerts you several days ahead of an upcoming Magnetic Storm. A counter in the lower right corner of the display shows the number of days and hours left until this event recurs.

The best way to plan ahead when Magnetic Storms next occur

To minimize the effects of magnetic storms in The Alters, it’s essential to make sure you have an adequate supply of the listed items:

1. Inductors: These devices help manage and control the flow of electric current in circuits, which can be particularly useful during a magnetic storm.

2. Shielding Materials: These materials protect your electronic equipment from harmful electromagnetic radiation emitted by magnetic storms.

3. Transformers: Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current (AC) electric power in electrical networks, which can be helpful in managing the impact of a magnetic storm on your devices.

4. Faraday Cages: These enclosures provide protection from electromagnetic fields by conducting electricity away from the contained item, thus keeping it safe during a magnetic storm.

• Radiation Filter – Costs 10x metals and 40x organics; placed inside the Machinery room to keep the base’s radiation shielding active.
• Repair Kit – Costs 10x metals; used to fix damaged components and rooms so they remain functional.

As a user, I can add these essential items to a queue within the Uphold system, under the Production tab. It’s best to have at least three of them prepared in advance, just in case unexpected issues arise.

Additionally, it’s advisable to check the Tasks section to view the activities of your alter egos. It would be beneficial to assign at least two personas, with one being the Technician, to manage the maintenance tasks.

Should you even go outside during Magnetic Storms?

Venturing outdoors during a Magnetic Storm can be rather hazardous due to increased radiation levels. While not as lethal as nighttime, they are still higher than usual. However, these storms offer an interesting advantage: You’ll be able to extract rapidium and deeper reserves at a faster pace during the storm.

If Jan’s radiation levels become dangerously high, promptly teleport back to your base of operations. If you’ve constructed an Infirmary module, you can recuperate there to aid in the recovery from radiation sickness.
