Required for orbital trading. Orbital traders will also drop goods near this. To trade, you must have silver stored near the beacon.

Trade beacons can be indoors. Solid walls break the area of influence of a trade beacon. Putting a trade beacon inside a large room (with adequate roof support columns) works fine.

The range of an orbital trade beacon is laid-out as follows:

. . . . ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ . . . .

. . . . ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ . . . .

Where 'B' is Beacon, '▒' is in range, and '.' is out of range.
