[list]
[*] [b]Anomalies[/b] — “S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-style” hazardous zones: [b]Burner, Jelly, Burnt Fuzz, Vortex, Electra, Psi-field[/b].
[*] [b]Anomalies[/b] — spawn only on maps with radiation and via the “Zone Emission” event.
[*] [b]Artifacts[/b] — rare finds with bonuses and drawbacks: [b]Flame, Mommy’s Beads, Moonlight, Bubble, Mica, Night Star, Goldfish, Compass, Battery, Soul, Wrenched, Medusa[/b].
[*] [b]Zone Emission[/b] — a rare event (chance depends on how close your tile is to radiation) that spawns clusters containing anomalies and artifacts.
[*] [b]Artifact containers[/b] — maximum compatibility with other mods.
[*] [b]Artifact containers[/b] — every pawn has one container slot by default.
[*] [b]Artifact containers[/b] — any armor (including modded armor) can roll extra container slots (depends on quality and armor stats).
[*] [b]Psi irradiation[/b] — a mechanic from anomalies like the [b]Psi-field[/b] (for now, lethal values can turn a pawn into a Shambler — this will be improved in future add-ons).
[*] [b]Event “Zone Emission”[/b] — spawns clusters with anomalies and artifacts inside.
[*] [b]Detectors[/b] — [b]“Bear”[/b] and [b]“Echo”[/b] (crafted at a workbench).
[*] [b]“Echo”[/b] — works like in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: it beeps, and the closer you are to an artifact, the faster it beeps.
[*] [b]“Bear”[/b] — works like Echo, but also shows a distance indicator to the artifact.
[*] And of course… a [b]massive BOLT[/b].
[*] [b]RimZone Core integration[/b] — this module uses Core systems (hazards/settings/shared logic), so everything works as one coherent package.
[*] [b]Settings & compatibility[/b] — difficulty/balance parameters and careful integration with mods/UI.
[*] [b]Localization EN | RU[/b] — keys and texts are separated; updates shouldn’t break saves.

[b]Anomalies, artifacts & radiation[/b]
[list]
[*] Many anomalies are tied to “zone effects”: damage, debuffs, statuses, and dangerous interactions with the environment.
[*] Artifacts provide strong benefits, but often come with a price (side effects).
[*] [b]STRONGLY[/b] recommended: start on a world tile that has at least a small amount of radiation!

[b]Q: Is this standalone content or a “library”?[/b]
A: This is a [b]content module[/b]. It adds anomalies and artifacts. It requires [b]RimZone Core[/b] to work properly.
[b]Q: Can I add it to an existing save?[/b]
A: Usually [b]yes[/b]. New anomalies/artifacts will appear via spawn/event/generation rules (depends on your settings and modules).
[b]Important:[/b] removing Anomalies&Artifacts mid-save may leave “broken” references to objects/effects in the world.
[b]Q: The game shows red errors in the log. What should I do?[/b]
A:
[list]
[*] Check the load order (see above) and make sure [b]RimZone Core[/b] is installed.
[*] Disable mods that heavily patch hazard systems/damage/effects/spawn events and test for conflicts.
[*] If the error persists — attach your [b]Player.log[/b] and mod list in the comments/Issue.

[*] No idea (yet).
