Radio-powered: This item can be recharged via broadcast power.
This object has a broadcast power receiver that can pick up electrical charge either from satellites if not too far underground or from a nearby broadcast power transmitter.

radio-powered is a mod that can be applied to all energy cells excluding ones that are fueled by liquid. When modded to an energy cell, they will passively recharge themselves as long as the player character is close enough to the surface, or in the same zone as a working broadcast power station. This is an application of broadcast power.

Recharge speed

The speed that this mod recharges cells depends on the cell's tier, in which the charge rate is 10 * tier every game tick. The max depth that the cell can be recharged at is 1 + tier deep. If the cell can already charge using broadcast power, it uses the greater charge rate and max depth. Energy cells that charge through another method like fidget cells or solar cells will have both charge rates stack.[1]

Estimated Recharge Speed

Energy Cell MaxCharge Recharge Speed Max Depth
Chem cell 10,000 10 2
Fidget cell 2,500 10 2
Solar cell 2,500 20 3
Nuclear cell 100,000 70 8
Antimatter cell 200,000 80 9

Satellite Power Occlusion

Occasionally, the radio signals used to power the cell via ancient 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 tech scanning apparatus. The exact percentages are located within GlobalConfig.json. By default, there is a 0.5% chance a game tick of the radio waves being occluded, preventing any charge. Once they are blocked, there is a 1.5% chance every game tick of clearing up and resume to charge.[2]

Satellite power being occluded does not interfere with power from broadcast power stations.
