I was beating it to death with my nailbat, at a low strength, which took a very long time, and in the meantime it glared at me, and I went back to the log to count, fifteen times.
So far, I’ve mutated twice (got lucky on both occasions, I received High Night Vision and Pain Recovery), teleported twice (once almost into a wall), gotten shakes, been temporarily blinded, and I am currently hallucinating a salmon in the middle of the road. This has all happened in about an hour.
What I’m concerned about is the “You feel sick to your stomach” messages, which spammed me for about ten minutes. Is that something I need to worry about?
EDIT: Now I’ve passed out, mutated again (Full Night Vision this time), passed out, started shaking again, and have hallucinated an irradiated wanderer, tank drone, and tribot, in that order
