Suggestion: STALKER style Psy Fields and Blowouts

Being a huge fan of the STALKER series, it would be extremely cool if there were machines similar to the Brain Scorcher and the Monolith in the mod... If you're unfamiliar with the games, the Brain Scorcher is basically a giant antenna that projects a psychic field in an extremely large radius that drives people insane, brainwashes them, or turns them into zombies... The player entering a psy field will begin to see illusions, hear voices in their head, and have a grainy yellow filter over their vision unless they have the equipment to protect them from the psychic energy (See image below)

The Monolith is a giant rectangular crystal inside the burnt-out remains of Chornobyl Reactor 4 that periodically emits cataclysmic events known as Blowouts/Emissions, which are essentially giant waves of psychic energy that entirely fry the brains of anyone who isn't hiding behind a substantial amount of cover, even if they do have psychic protection (See the video link below for an example of a Blowout)

Also there's a device in the games called the Mircale Machine which is basically a smaller and less powerful version of the Brain Scorcher that takes the form of a giant brain in a jar, which I was able to capture a video of myself, (mind the poor video quality): https://github.com/Alcatergit/Hbm-s-Nuclear-Tech-GIT/assets/60857805/b2db727e-d08a-4550-9748-fd10fd8fc3cb

While I'm aware the mod is mostly centered around various power sources and industry and such... I feel like these can serve as both 1: New dangerous rare structures that can spawn randomly and be used to guard extremely late-game high-tier loot, akin to the meteorite dungeons, and 2: A way to repurpose corrupted broadcasters into devices that can help protect the player's bases from other players or dangerous mobs (Since I think it would be cool if you could calibrate the Brain Scorcher and Mircale Machines to only affect certain entities like how you can program the turrets already in the mod to only target mobs or certain players)... Also yes admittedly another big part of the reason why I want these in the mod is because I'm a huge STALKER fan and I'd like to have what is, in my opinion, some of the coolest parts of the games integrated into one of my favorite Minecraft mods... I'd do it myself if I had any skill with modding but alas, I exclusively work with Unreal Engine 4, and even passing glances at Minecraft's code breaks my brain.
