Atomic Wasteland

The surface of the world is a barren atomic wasteland. Bombed out cities are scattered across this wasteland however they have no inhabitants, the surface is far too radioactive for most plantlife to survive. The crash site of the Reclamation Machine is a major landmark in this environment and Spaz will eventually make his way to the top of it as the final stage of its activation.

Light Sources
At the surface the sun is the major source of light, however it must make its way through the gloomy haze that the nuclear fallout and sandstorms have left behind.

Power Source
Humans had become masters of nuclear fission and combined it with electricity to spread it to every city on the surface.

Hazards
The surface is littered with hazards including craters from exploded bombs, radioactive sludge left behind from power plants, and building weakened by explosions that may collapse at any moment. Many years of irradiation has also caused the growth of dangerous mutant plant-life and bugs. Other damage SPAs may also be found along the surface that could be hazards themselves.

The Reclamation Machine itself has some defenses which may be malfunctioning after its crash landing, creating unforseen hazard of scientific prowess.

Water
Water is extremely scarce on the surface of the world, so water occurences are rare. However, the Reclamation Machine was designed with the SPAs in mind and has many water ports on its exterior hull that allow SPAs to refuel as to work.

Puzzle Themes
The puzzles here are going to be related to renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, or related to fixing the Reclamation Machine by fixing circuitry or wiring.
