Design for Radioactive Bees Area

[qsmithy]

I'm testing some designs, and I don't know how to make an area look contaminated due to radioactivity. I have two radioactive bees, so I want to express that somehow. I have two apiaries, which I want to be sealed off somehow, due to the whips which spawn from the 400 vis node which I plan to move somewhere. I am using the Mindcrack Pack. The area isn't very big, but this is what I have so far:

Is this meant as an actual warning of the radioactive effect or just an aesthetic thing?

If it's the latter, you can probably replace the grass with mycelium to make the ground look poisoned.

If the former, use the extra bees machines to remove the radioactive trait from the bees and put something less horrid there instead (I tend to replace all the unpleasant traits from my bee species with beatific or swiftness once I isolate those).

I have radioactive bees on purpose to farm uranium, so it's an aesthetic thing. As you mauy tell, I was trying to use tanks and lights to mimic leaking barrels full of radioactive waste. If I use mycelium, it will eventually spread throughout the entire field way outside where the adversaries are.

a normal uranium 238 block, cut into pieces by the forge microblock system.

should be a lot of radioactive-symbols...

No I mean you can have radioactive bees producing uranium without the nasty side effect they produce. The species alone determines the comb and the specialty product, the effect they have (radioactive, unstable, poison, beatific, drunkard etc) is a totally changeable stat.

Oh and you can block mycelium spread using a simple line of non-dirt blocks

Mycelium microblocks wont spread

I'd also build a fence, if you're gov for the "hazard zone" look. Railcraft concrete and/or iron fences might make a nice combo, and having a loop of concrete at grass level (separating the "contaminated" mycelium from your regular grass), that'll prevent it from completely taking over your grass.

Also, signs on the fence, for sure.
