Template:Prototype parent Entity with the ability to transfer module's effects to its neighboring entities.

Usage in base

• Beacon

Mandatory properties

This prototype inherits all the properties from Prototype/EntityWithHealth.

Template:Prototype property The animation for the Beacon, when in use.

Template:Prototype property Must be an electric or void energy source.

Template:Prototype property The picture of the Beacon when it is not on.

Template:Prototype property The maximum distance that this Beacon can supply it's neighbors with it's module's effects. Max distance is 64.

Template:Prototype property The multiplier of the module's effects, when shared between neighbors.

Template:Prototype property The number of module slots in this beacon, and their icon positions.

Optional properties

Template:Prototype property The types of modules that a player can place inside of the Beacon.
