The Power Transmitter connects to nearby power sources (such as [[Solar Panel]]s and [[Thermal Plant]]s) and transmits their power to a [[Seabases|Seabase]] or another Power Transmitter. A glowing blue line will be generated between the Power Transmitter and any objects that it is connected to. A Power Transmitter has a range of about 100 meters from another power transmitter and about 25 meters straight from the energy generator; a "power line" of transmitters can be built to transfer power over a long distance. The Power Transmitter will not connect to a power source if a direct, unobstructed line cannot be established, though it will connect to other Power Transmitters.

It is constructed with the Habitat Builder and can be placed on the seabed. It can also be damaged and destroyed by striking it three times with the Survival Knife. The Power Transmitter connects to nearby power sources (such as Solar Panels and Thermal Plants) and transmits their power to a Seabase or another Power Transmitter. A glowing blue line will be generated between the Power Transmitter and any objects that it is connected to. A Power Transmitter has a range of ~100 meters from another power transmitter and ~25 meters straight from the energy generator; a "power line" of transmitters can be built to transfer power over a long distance. The Power Transmitter will not connect to a power source if a direct, unobstructed line cannot be established. However, it will connect to other Power Transmitters in this fashion. Meaning, a so-called "power line" is able to pass through most minor surface-level terrain obstructions—whether placed on land or in the water.

Recipe

The blueprint for this module is acquired by unlocking the Habitat Builder. It is crafted with the Habitat Builder.
