Solar Sponge

Solar Sponge is a soak mutation which gives resistance against burn, radiation, and acid damage. It also lets you heal when you're hot (healing is determined on temperature), and gives a maximum bonus of +2 to Brawn/Brains while in the sun.

Location

Solar Sponge can be found at ground zero, in the Wasteland

Effects

This mutation grants:

    +1-3 burn resistance
    +2-2 radiation resistance
    +2-3 laser resistance
    Healing effect when hot
    +2 to Brawn/Brains when in the sun

Advantages

Apart from the bonus burn and laser soaks, you'll get a fairly good brains and brawn bonus at daylight when you're out in the open. You'll also get healed by heat, which can go up to +6-7 per tick in places like the ant colony or summertime coventry. While you'll be mostly immune to fire (but not to it's debuff), you won't get healed by itself - fire simply raises your temperature higher, so in cold places it's possible to still not being healed while burning.

You get a total of 3-6 radiation resistance too, which is pretty nice.

Disadvantages

Takes up a soak slot.
