The Satellite Substation has a very wide area of supply, and very long linkage ranges. It does not, however, provide wireless power to the player's mecha - only the [[Wireless Power Tower]] can do that.
The Satellite Substation has a significantly  larger power distribution area than the [[Tesla Tower]], and very long connection range. However, it cannot charge Icarus - only the [[Wireless Power Tower]] and [[Signal Tower]] can do that.

* Despite not being listed in the item's tooltip, the Satellite Substation has a idle power consumption of 360 kW. This can be verified by clicking on a placed Substation.
==Player Tips & Tricks==
*While Satellite Substations have a long connection length, their idle consumption is 4x that of [[Wireless Power Tower|Wireless Power Towers]], and therefore are ill-suited for distance chains unless the power grid already has plenty of energy to spare. They also require a considerable space to build. As such, they are best reserved for factory setups with plenty of space, whereas [[Tesla Tower|Tesla Towers]] can usually fit in-between factories using much less space, while connecting the grids together with no passive power consumption.
*Since their coverage is more than 4x that of a tesla tower, utilization of Satellite Substations can lead to significant performance improvements since the total amount of power distributors, and consequently, the sum of their updates / second, is tremendously reduced.

Summary

The Satellite Substation has a significantly larger power distribution area than the Tesla Tower, and very long connection range. However, it cannot charge Icarus - only the Wireless Power Tower and Signal Tower can do that.

Player Tips & Tricks

  • While Satellite Substations have a long connection length, their idle consumption is 4x that of Wireless Power Towers, and therefore are ill-suited for distance chains unless the power grid already has plenty of energy to spare. They also require a considerable space to build. As such, they are best reserved for factory setups with plenty of space, whereas Tesla Towers can usually fit in-between factories using much less space, while connecting the grids together with no passive power consumption.
  • Since their coverage is more than 4x that of a tesla tower, utilization of Satellite Substations can lead to significant performance improvements since the total amount of power distributors, and consequently, the sum of their updates / second, is tremendously reduced.
