Radio

Interacting with a radio allows you to tune it, and if you land on a station's frequency it plays a short broadcast as dialogue.

What plays can be set based on time of day, location, day of the week, and any other game variable.

Tuning

The tuner covers the FM band from 88.0 to 108.0 MHz in steps of 0.1 MHz, and shows Signal Strength:

Distance from station	Signal	Result
Exactly on 94.7	Strong (100%)	The broadcast plays
0.1 MHz off	Moderate (50%)	Static
0.2 MHz or more	Weak / No Signal	Static

Radio App for the Nu Phone opens a list of the stations available at your current location.

Modding

• radio_map_lists.yaml specifies which stations can be picked up on which map.
• radio_data.yaml is each station's frequency, its default broadcast, and a list of conditional_broadcasts. Each conditional broadcast can be limited based on map_slugs and game variables (such as stage_of_day). A conditional broadcast can also set_variables once the dialogue closes, allowing for one-off broadcasts.

The first conditional broadcast whose conditions all match is the one that plays; if none match, the station falls back to its default, and a station with no frequency (like the Scrambled Frequency) can never be reached with the dial.
