The Satellite Substation has a very wide area of supply, and very long linkage ranges. It does not, however, provide wireless power to the player's mecha - only the [[Wireless Power Tower]] can do that.

Player Tips & Tricks

  • While Satellite Substations have a long connection length, their idle consumption is 4x that of Wireless Power Towers, and therefore are ill-suited for distance chains unless the power grid already has plenty of energy to spare. They also require a considerable space to build. As such, they are best reserved for factory setups with plenty of space, whereas Tesla Towers can usually fit in-between factories using much less space, while connecting the grids together with no passive power consumption.
  • Since their coverage is more than 4x that of a tesla tower, utilization of Satellite Substations can lead to significant performance improvements since the total amount of power distributors, and consequently, the sum of their updates / second, is tremendously reduced.
