Signal Tower

Defense Facility

A tactical defensive facility that periodically sends out signals of a specific frequency to induce Dark Fog, change the direction of an attack and increase the unit assembling speed. Signal Towers can for a data chain with Missile Turrets for information sharing, thus expanding the attack range of Missile Turrets.

Summary

The Signal Tower is the power distributor with the longest connection range, second biggest power distribution area, and is capable of charging Icarus as a Wireless Power Tower would. It also has a limited taunt effect which encourages Dark Fog ground units to prioritize it as attack target. Signal Towers also allow Missile Turrets to lock on targets which would otherwise be outside their ground range or line of sight. Additionally, placing a Signal Tower in close proximity to a Planetary Base will cause it to enter overdrive mode, increasing matter and unit production tenfold, similar to how the presence of Icarus would.

Player Tips & Tricks

A signal tower allows all the missile turrets on a planet to target any enemies within range of the signal tower, making them very effective as wiping out Dark Fog forces from long range.
Signal towers can be used to absorb heavy hits on the frontline since their durability is very high. This makes them ideal for the fortification of farming setups.
