I did some testing. I have 3 planets in my system, all with atmospheres. On the planet closest to the star (0.384 AU), the ray receivers were working regardless of where I placed them on the planet, and whether they had a graviton lens or not. On the middle planet (0.993 AU), the receivers needed a graviton lens to function at night, and on the darkest spot (directly behind the planet when viewed from the sun) the ray strength went down to as low as 30% even with a graviton lens. On the farthest planet (1.886 AU), the receivers had 0 strength on the dark side, regardless of whether a graviton lens was inserted. With a graviton lens, they remained operational a little longer after sunset. | I did some testing. I have 3 planets in my system, all with atmospheres.

From this I conclude that the distance to the star determines the range of the "ray bouncing" that a graviton lens makes use of. The farther the planet is away from the sun, the shallower the angle of the energy rays are, and the less distance they can be bounced. This means that on distant planets there is a "blind spot" for the receivers. The signal strength loss is gradual, as on my middle planet the strength does not go below 30%. - Neidmare | From this I conclude that the distance to the star determines the range of the "ray bouncing" that a graviton lens makes use of.

:: It is not 100% - I have confirmation from several individuals that there is still a dead spot on the planet directly opposite where the sun is (so in the 'deepest night'). I have not yet heard precisely how large this dead spot is. [[User:76561198018895007|76561198018895007]] ([[User talk:76561198018895007|talk]]) 07:34, 16 February 2021 (UTC) | |||
