{{For|a quick comparison of all 3 television types|Television}}
 
A '''tube television''' is a [[recreation]] item that provides "{{P|Recreation Type}}" recreation to [[colonist]]s in an area in front of it. It is functionally similar to other types of [[television]].
 
  
== Acquisition ==
 
Tube televisions can be constructed once the [[Research#Tube television|Tube television]] research is completed, using the Recreation tab of the [[Architect]] menu. Constructing one requires {{Required Resources}}, {{ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work and a [[construction]] skill of 7.
 
  
They can also be acquired through [[trade]].
+
A '''tube television''' is a television that can be built by [[colonist]]s with a construction skill of 7 or higher. Effective in a 3x5 area in front of the object, spaced 1 tile away from it.
  
== Summary ==
+
The tube television has an entertainment strength factor of 120%.
{{Television Summary|5|3}}
 
  
== Analysis ==
 
Any form of television provides another form of recreation to your colony. They are useful for bed-ridden pawns in particular, as the only other option requires that another colonist talk to them. [[Flatscreen television]]s and [[megascreen television]]s provide more recreation power, but take up more space and power.
 
  
In general, it is not worth it to actually research television. [[Megascreen television]]s provide stronger recreation, and are often carried by exotic goods [[trader]]s and [[faction base]]s. Tube televisions can also be bought from the same sources.
+
In terms of entertainment strength and effective area, the tube television is easily beaten by the [[flatscreen television]] and the [[megascreen television]].
  
== Version history ==
+
Tube televisions placed facing [[hospital bed]]s can allow recovering pawns to watch TV for [[recreation]]al purposes. This can be very useful, as the only other option that bed-bound pawns have requires another colonist to talk to them, and joy-less colonists suffer terrible mood penalties.
* [[Version/0.10.785|0.10.785]] - Added as '''Television''' with the addition of the [[Recreation|Joy]] system.
 
* [[Version/0.13.1135|0.13.1135]] - Sick people in bed can now watch TV
