Orbital power beam targeter

Orbital power beam targeter

An ancient targeting unit for a network of power-collection satellites. Once aimed at a target, it directs ancient satellites to begin beaming power down in a massive column of electromagnetic energy. This power can safely be collected in a giant absorption dish. Since you have no absorption dish, you'll be aiming it at enemies, at which point the power column will turn the area into a thousand-degree inferno. This will last until the satellites detect the unsafe targeting, shut themselves down, and permanently deactivate the targeter.

The Orbital power beam targeter is a powerful single-use artifact added in Beta 18.

It requires manual targeting, and has a 3 second activation time. Once activated, a massive beam will shoot down from above for approximately 10 seconds (600 ticks). For every activated tick, the beam chooses 4 random tiles in a 15-tile radius, setting them on fire and dealing 65-100 fire damage to everything within.

It has a targeting range of 45 tiles, and requires a line of sight from the user to the target (it cannot target through walls).

Version history

Prior to 1.2 it was classified as a weapon, and could not be carried with a weapon. Like all ranged weapons it could not be used when the pawn is wearing a shield belt.
