Using telescope.png

Usage

While the description states that it must be placed "outside", a telescope can be placed on any unroofed tile. Indeed, a colonist using one placed inside an impressive room will gain the "impressive rec room" thought. Only the telescope tile itself needs to be unroofed; the interaction tile can remain roofed.

Colonists using a telescope will gain a small amount of Intellectual skill. A chair placed on the interaction tile will provide a colonist using it comfort.

A telescope is a useful item to obtain if you need to increase recreational variety. While all telescopes only have 100% recreational power, they provide a unique joy "study" type that cannot be obtained from any other item.
