− | + | A comms console should be under a roof, otherwise rain or snow will cause shorts. Take care with placement outdoors, despite them being depicted with satellite dishes on top. | |
=== Trade ships === | === Trade ships === | ||
− | + | You will be automatically notified when a trade ship appears unless comms console is not built or not powered (due to power grid/generator failure or [[Events#Solarflare|solar flare]], for example). With or without notification, the ship leaves in 16 hours, or {{ticks|40000}}. | |
− | + | The first option in the menu will always be [[trade]] ships that are present, if any. Click on it to trade. At least one [[orbital trade beacon]] is also required. While it may seem logical that a passing orbital trader could be contacted from any colony with a comms console, the game does not work like that. Any orbital trade notification is tied to a specific colony, and ''only'' that colony has the option to trade with them. | |
− | + | === Factions === | |
+ | You can request [[trade|trade caravans]] from any [[faction]] that is an [[ally]]. Doing so will cost 15 goodwill and brings up a menu asking which type of trade caravan is desired. After a caravan has been requested, you can make another petition after 4 days. | ||
− | + | In addition, you can request immediate military aid from allied factions. This costs 25 goodwill. Only outlanders will send reinforcements in the form of drop pods, while tribes will politely decline. | |

− | Due to unsafe weather conditions | + | Due to unsafe weather conditions it may be impossible to call on an ally. This includes temperature, making it more difficult for colonies in extreme hot or cold [[biome]]s to rely upon their allies. |
