How about a system where you could farm better crops that other people by selecting good plants to reproduce instead of the bad ones. Think of it this way if you harvest seeds from successful plants you get better grade seeds but if you harvest seeds from rotten plants you get lower grade seeds that produce lower grade plants. Some variables may be: Calorie count in food, grow time, success rate, seed count... Maybe by planting a plant with good grow time next to a plant with good success rate could have seeds that follow this sorta formula: ([(plant a's grow rate)+(plant b's grow rate)]/2)+(0 to [(1.5)Better plant's grow rate]) this would give you a chance to breed better plants making good seeds have value in game.

I love this idea

I really like the idea of it but having it cleaned up like Chernobyl is. To my understanding Chernobyl is quite safe to be around even within the exclusion zone, the trouble comes in when you go to the reactors themselves or places that were not cleaned after the accident. This would mean that most the map would be safe except in the reactors where you could get some cool rare loot and it would be a cool thing that you could only go once or twice a character.
