| Internal Name | melanosome |
Melanosomes perform Radiosynthesis, which captures energy from radiation by absorbing it in melanin.
Requirements
Need to receive radiation damage by being close to a radioactive chunk
Processes
Radiosynthesis: Radiation File:RadiationIcon.png → ATP 
A method of energy production by utilising radioactive materials.
Modifications
No modifications.
Effects
No effects.
Upgrades
No upgrades.
Strategy
Radioactive rocks are rare but abundant in energy once found. The recommended playstyle with radiosynthesis is to have plenty of storage or other ways to survive while looking for the next radioactive rock. Once found there's temporarily an abundance of energy for reproduction etc.
