Description

Not to be confused with the battery beacon that you start with, this is a permanent beacon. It connects directly into your power grid. Using the Labeller, it is possible to rename the beacon. The new name will show up on your Tablet using the Tracker Cartridge.

Beacons need power to operate (300 W)
