What's the minimum evacuation distance for a Gozar "blast"? :leaving:

Interesting -- the lethal blast radius increases quite slowly with the amount of explosive. The increase is roughly proportional to the cube root of explosive mass (10 times larger blast radius takes about 1000 times more explosive)
