The 4 pillar layout is enough to hold up a roof over the stockpile and you can mine out whatever you want on the outside.
Orbital trade beacon roof.
Posted by 5 years ago.
I have a comms console and it never tells me that a ship is coming into range.
I strongly suggest to define what is placed in a stockpile and what is not.
With this knowledge i usually have my first beacon indoors with a stockpile for gear with a single unroofed tile directly above the beacon then a second beacon completely indoors for holding silver gold uranium and other valuables.
Solid walls and separate rooms will break the area of influence of a trade beacon however support columns for larger rooms don t block its effect.
Select a colonist and right click the comms console.
Then you need comm beacon to every stockpile that to contains things you want to trade.
Trade beacons will work under a roof.
Does it need to be outdoors.
Without that you won t be able to trade with orbital traders.
I understand i can pay for one but its way too expensive.
Items purchased from a trader will be dropped within range of a beacon if unroofed otherwise they will be dropped as close to the beacon as possible avoiding.
Things coming down from orbit will arrive at the first trade beacon you built at a randomly non roofed tile.
Sell stuff have someone go and turn off the crematorium orbital trade beacon and then buy stuff.
Unlike regular grenades the beacon acts as a guide for the kovac muldoon platform orbital satellite which will bombard the marked area after a short while with orbital strikes.
Hopefully the trader won t beam stuff down to a beacon that s not powered.
A comms console not under a roof will cause shorts during rain or snow.
Ordering a colonist to use the console will bring up a menu showing the available factions or trade ships.
I m really low on components and need to trade to get enough to start constructing them.
