Thermal effects

[kalos72]

So looking at Kato's AMAZING MAPS, I see that there are alot of areas in my campaign that have been hit with various levels of thermal damage and overpressure.

What does that thermal damage do to buildings, trees, fuel tanks, vehicles and such?

And would 5PSI destroy the docks at Howland Hook or Port Newark Terminals? The cranes?

Kalos has been helping me pre-alpha test my mapping site . Still not ready for prime time unfortunately.

For those unfamiliar with the nuke mapping it is based off this site.

I however I think I am going to add a 3 PSI ring as the jump from 1 to 5 is a pretty large one.

No worries man. They know it is coming . I just can't make it public yet due to bugs, load testing issues and a lack of documentation.

My goal with testers is to get it into the hands of people who would get the most use out of it immediately, and you defiantly fall into that category.

Kato - So what do you think?

My methodical nature often prevents me from answering technical questions like this off the cuff. One thing I will say is that in built up areas there will be both shadows and amplifications of both pressure and thermal effects. The pretty mathematical rings should only be considered a guide.

I think in general cranes would hold up pretty well to pressure. The paint will be stripped and you may be dealing with rust after a couple years though.
