| description = An ancient targeting unit for a network of power-collection satellites. Once aimed at a target, it directs ancient satellites to begin beaming power down in a massive column of electromagnetic energy. This power can safely be collected in a giant absorption dish. Since you have no absorption dish, you'll be aiming it at enemies, at which point the power column will turn the area into a thousand-degree inferno. This will last until the satellites detect the unsafe targeting, shut themselves down, and permanently deactivate the targeter.

The '''orbital power beam targeter''' is a powerful single-use [[utility]] artifact that deals damage in a wide radius for a short duration.

== Acquisition ==
Orbital power beam targeters cannot be crafted. Instead they can only be acquired through [[trade]], as a reward for performing [[quests]], or found in [[ancient shrine]]s. Note that quest rewards are selected with a weighted random generator, so there is no way to guarantee access to a targeter in a given play-through. Anecdotally, it is often reported that the increased number of reward options added by the [[DLC]] dilute the reward pool with more options

== Summary ==
When equipped, an orbital power beam targeter is worn in the waist [[Utility|utility slot]]. Pawns that are incapable of violence can equip, but not use, the targeter. Once the wearer is [[draft]]ed, it can be manually activated by the player to target a tile within 45 tiles and within [[line of sight]].

After a 3s warm-up, a massive beam will shoot down from above for {{ticks|600}}. Once per activated tick, the beam chooses 4 random tiles in a 15-tile radius of the target, setting them on fire and dealing between 65 and 100 [[Damage Types#Flame|Flame]] damage to everything on each tiles. The warmup time before firing is affected by the [[Aiming Time]] stat of the wearer. The beam can hit targets under roofs, including overhead mountain.

The targeter cannot be recharged or refueled - once its single charge is expended, the item is completely destroyed.

{{Utility Note}}

== Analysis ==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=More useful than infestations. Missing general analysis, value proposition by itself and compared to other superweapons, deployment (e.g. wear it all the time, swap it for what, who its worth using on, take it on caravans? etc}}
Can hit objects though overhead mountain, decent at dealing with late-stage infestations.

Because [[Mechanoids]] are immune to fire damage, they cannot be harmed by an orbital power beam.
