Hello, Today we're going to take a look at a feature some of us have dreamt of changing for years now - the beacon transmission. The main purpose of beacons is to allow massively increasing your production in the late game while being more than just a module or a faster machine.

It’s nice to see the continued balancing and optimization work that they’re doing, and more modding capabilities is always great.

Not what I was expecting. “Diminishing” made me think that the new effect of the beacons would cover a larger area but diminish as distance to the building increases

I only have like 1500 hours so i didn’t know there was a “perfect” setup for beacons. I always did a new design every time… Happy I never knew as it made it more fun.
