A flatscreen television that is more entertaining than a tube television, but still 1 tier lower than the megascreen television. Effective in a 5x6 area in front of the object (that is, 5 deep, 6 wide). Seats must face the TV. The flatscreen television has an entertainment strength factor of 140%.
Acquisition
Flatscreen televisions can be constructed once the Flatscreen television research project has been completed. They require 140 Steel, 16 Components, 40,000 ticks (11.11 mins) of work, and a Construction skill of 8.
They can also be purchased from Outlanders caravans and faction bases, or found in ancient shrines.
Analysis
The flatscreen television has an entertainment strength factor of 140%.
Flatscreen televisions placed facing hospital beds can allow recovering pawns to watch TV for recreational purposes. This can be very useful, as the only other option that bed-bound pawns have requires another colonist to talk to them, and joy-less colonists suffer terrible mood penalties.
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 25 percent of the 140 steel and 16 components.
