+ | [[File:Orbital trade beacon range.png|thumb|left|Orbital trade beacon range.]] | ||
+ | To initiate the trade a ship must be in range, which a colonist can communicate with using the [[comms console]]. All silver and tradeable items within range of a beacon will then be available for trade. Payment towards factions for whatever reason also requires silver near beacons. | ||
− | + | Trade beacons will work under a roof. Solid walls and separate rooms will break the area of influence of a trade beacon, however support columns for larger rooms don't block its effect. Items purchased from a trader will be dropped within range of a beacon if unroofed, otherwise they will be dropped as close to the beacon as possible, avoiding the roofs. | |
− | |||
− | + | Unroofed beacons can be used to designate the area where goods will be dropped, as the trader will prioritize dropping goods within the area of effect of the beacon. | |
− | + | Drop pod [[raiders]] will also preferentially drop near an unroofed beacon. | |
− | |||
− | + | Trade beacons do not need to be placed in range of your comms console. You can place them wherever you want throughout your colony. | |
