You will not receive any notifications about passing trade ships until it is built or if the electric power is cut off due to solar flare. It cannot be reinstalled. |
− | + | A comms console not under a roof will cause shorts during rain or snow. Take care with placement outdoors, despite them being depicted with satellite dishes on top. | |

− | + | Select a colonist and right-click the comms console. | |
− | + | [[File:Ludeon Securities.png|500px]] | |
− | == | + | ==Options== |
− | + | Ordering a colonist to use the console will bring up a menu showing the available factions or [[trade]] ships. | |
− | + | The first option will always be [[trade]] ships that are present. Click on it to trade. At least one [[orbital trade beacon]] is also required. | |
− | + | When interacting with an allied faction, you can request [[trade|trade caravans]] from them. 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 [[faction]]s. This costs 25 goodwill. Only outlanders will send reinforcements in the form of drop pods, while tribes will politely decline. | |

+ | * While it may seem logical that you could contact a passing trader with a comms console from any colony, the game does not work like that. Every orbital trade request is tied to a specific colony. | ||
+ | * Due to unsafe weather conditions it may be impossible to call on an ally. This includes temperature, making it very difficult for colonies in the extreme desert biome to contact their allies. | ||
