A flatscreen television is a recreation item that provides "Television watching" recreation to colonists in an area in front of it. It is functionally similar to other types of television.

Acquisition[edit]

Flatscreen televisions can be constructed once the flatscreen television research project has been completed. Each requires Steel 140 Steel, Component 16 Components, 40,000 ticks (11.11 mins) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder, and a construction skill of 8.

They can also be purchased from Outlanders caravans and faction bases, or found in ancient shrines.

Summary[edit]

Pawns sitting on a chair or bed in the 6×5 (30 tile) area in front of a flatscreen television can watch it for recreational purposes. It does not matter which way the item of furniture the pawn is on faces.

The flatscreen television has a Recreation Power of 140%. It is considered Television recreation.

A pawn must have a Sight capacity above 0% to watch television.

Analysis[edit]

Any television provides another form of recreation to your colony. It is useful for bed-ridden pawns in particular, as the only other option requires that another colonist talk to them.

In general, it is not worth it to actually research televisions for the purposes of recreation. Megascreen televisions provide stronger recreation and are often carried by exotic goods traders and faction bases. Both flatscreen and tube televisions can also be bought from the same sources or received as a quest reward.

Flatscreen televisions can be used for resource compression, compressing 59.7 kg of 105 steel and 12 components into a mere 8 kilos. This allows you to carry 7 times the weight you normally would on a caravan, but means that you will lose 50% of the 140 steel and 16 components.
