Broadcast | Broadcast [[power]] can be transmitted remotely either between objects in the same [[zone]] or from satellites to objects that are anywhere on or near the surface of {{gamename}}.{{Code Reference|class=BroadcastPowerTransmitter}}{{Code Reference|class=BroadcastPowerReceiver|name=BroadcastPowerReceiver}} | ||
Objects must be specially designed to receive broadcast power. Some objects have this capability built-in, but it can also be enabled for energy cells by applying the [[radio-powered]] mod. Depending on the object, its status as a broadcast power receiver may be obvious when looking at the object, or it may require a [[Scanning#Techscanning|techscanning]] apparatus for the viewer to identify that the object can use broadcast power. | Objects must be specially designed to receive broadcast power.

Occasionally, the radio signals used to power | Occasionally, the radio signals used to broadcast power via satellite will be blocked by random objects. These causes can be either "orbital debris", "a glass storm", "a flock of birds", "acid rain", "drift film", or "an unidentified anomaly", and the exact cause of occlusion can be seen upon viewing the item with a [[Scanning#Techscanning|techscanning]] apparatus. The exact percentages are located within <code>GlobalConfig.json</code>. By default, there is a 0.5% chance a game tick of the radio waves being occluded, preventing any charge to devices with a broadcast power receiver. Once they are blocked, there is a 1.5% chance every game tick of clearing up and resuming to charge.{{Code Reference|class=BroadcastPowerReceiver|name=BroadcastPowerReceiver}} | ||
