After a certain depth, wouldn't it just be as warm as a summer's day underground, no matter the temperature on the surface?

THat's a problem. I'm not sure what the cleaning process should be, but most of us will probably accidentally get exposed. Ideas?
get into a decontamination shower water on top of glass on top of lava running on top of you and blocking off the room than at night cover it over flood it with clean water and finally leave the room alone for 3 minecraft days to deradiate 5 if you sleep than dispose of the water that sound good?
oh and are you aloud to keep sand and clay and stuff you cant fund under ground if you get them from outside and i mean is there a way to clean it
another thing would there be a way to clean an area above ground to be able to be in during day without radiation because i cant and ive never been able to make a under ground tree farm any help? and for the above ground thing i mean without a biosphere
When you start building above ground, how are you going to make the room safe? It was radiated already, how are you going to clean it?
I guess water bucket over area.
I like the idea of someone making a map, spawning ghasts, and them blowing holes everywhere. It'll become a custom map, though. I also like the idea of having a high radiation site where the nuclear missile hit. Like a large tnt detonation.
Sorry if somebody already posted this, but perhaps each player should be well underground (below level 50) when the first day is over. When you exit the cave, all rules apply.
I have the perfect airlock with 2 control rooms, one for the doors and one for the water to clean the items. I can't make screens of it (I need to press shift cmd 4 and then the Minecraft menu shows up) anyway i could post a link to the map if anyone wants to see it. Its the prototype so its made above ground you can look at the redstone and everything.
Hmmm not home to start this challenge yet but I have my base planned out already :biggrin.gif: ill dig into the side of a mountain small surface cave and build a fallout vault entrance with a central spiral staircase to around lvl 10 and the build my base in a resident evil (movie) style hive. Cannot wait to start this!
So I've set a goal for myself. I'm going to try and make an observation dome made out of glass. Obviously it has to be three blocks thick, so I'm going to need a lot of sand.
Also, on this map I found diamond before iron! Crazy right?
I still need to make a shower for the player but i was just focusing on the airlock for now. When your told to drop your items in the water throw them in one by one it wil come out and could go 2 ways, left or right change that the items wil go left is about 95% that they will go right is 5% maybe more. So the items that end up on the right side are still ''bad'' and should be trown out.
It looks great!
However, one suggestion is to have a waterspliter that splits about 50% apart. One stream of items falls into a lava pit (the contamanated items), and the other one leads to the player (the clean items).
You may also want to cover it with sand or cobble or stone or somthing to insulate it.
Otherwise then this, it looks great! Keep up the good work!
Whoa. Lot's of activity. In answer to the questions about getting items from outside, it can be done, but you need to have a clean water source connected to your airlock that drains the items into a different room. Just not byproducts from mobs. Outdoor mobs can never be used/eaten/processed.
To those who asked about mob farms and 'clean' grass. I've been trying to think of something. Only thing I could think of was like someone else said, ussing fresh water to clean it and disposing of the water. I suppose that calls for a new room. Like, your dirty water disposal room. It would be a giant pool or radiated water, so you'd need it to be airlocked away from your base, I'd suppose. Any objections?
I'm sorry if someone already said something about this but if there is a still water source for cleaning after going out into the radioactive world would the water have to be changed every time because it would be radioactive too?
As in a kind of air generator, or somthing that creates "clean" air. This would give a meening to airlocks other then just keeping the rads out, it would also prevent air from mixing.
If this was implemented into it, then you COULD in theary have a room open to the exteror for a time, then seal it and perge it someway and then have grass.
Another thing that MAY need to be added is some kind of level of rads outside, possably hooked up to the light detector mod or somthing to that effect that would show the rads droping as the sun went down. On my map I have a complex looking redstone polser hooked up to a redstone torch and call it a wether sencer, but this may or may not need to be implemted.
One more thing, If you stumble apon a cave that may or may not lead to the surface, should you or should you not explore it?
Sorry for my rambeling and my spelling, I just had a lot of ideas to get out, and not much time to type them.

so let me get this strait i can harvest sand from outside or any block if i wash it but nothing from mobs?

I like this idea but i think about a more simple solution...
- Using Grass Block (as a filter) would help you to clean your air, if you don't have a clean air source you won't have enough air for more rooms.
Could'nt find the post but someone asked for a Tree farm design, i did a video of this one i made jsut in case someone needed it.
it looks small but it gives you enough to survive.
Here are some screenshots if anyone is interested:

I need to find more Iron so I can go outside to gather sand for glass, and wood. Running low on both. I also need to find a clean water source.

And there's a skin of a Suit perfect for the challenge ;D, cuz you can't be in a nuclear apocalypse without dressing in style
Hazmat Suit
Here's the link for the Skin.

Great challenge by the way.
Please do!
I would attempt this, but am to lazy ATM.

Dwarfdude PM your minecraft name so I can make you a admin :biggrin.gif:
The spawn will be a vault and you shall help Dwarfdude!
Why not make a air system controlled by pistons?
