Configuring Radiation Zones on a Rust Server

Radiation zones in Rust add an extra layer of challenge by forcing players to prepare with protective gear, altering loot locations, and creating high-risk areas. Server owners can enable, disable, or modify radiation levels to fit their gameplay style.

This guide will walk you through enabling radiation, adjusting radiation strength, and creating custom radioactive zones using VolticHost Game Panel.
