Required for orbital trading. 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.

Trade beacons will work under a roof. Solid walls and separate rooms will break the area of influence of a trade beacon. Putting a trade beacon inside a large room (with adequate roof support columns) works fine. Items purchased from a trader will be dropped within range of a beacon.

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

. . . . ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ . . . .
. . ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ . .

. . . . ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ ▒ . . . .

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