Radio

From HBM's Nuclear Tech Wiki
A radio station in a mesa

The Radio is a two-story cement brick building that appears to be a run down and long-abandoned radio station.

Where to find

They generate in the plains and desert biomes.

Dangers

The inside is dark, so mobs can spawn, and it is strategically mined to make navigation difficult. Of particular note is the anti-tank mine nestled in the ruins.

Refurbishing

The mod has no use for antennas, satellite dishes, or tape recorders outside of aesthetic or breaking them down for parts in an anvil, so you'll have no practical use for this building in it's presumed original purpose. Despite this, the building is in a fair state, meaning it can be remade into a base. Most of the work is just lighting it, cleaning up cobwebs and vines, maybe replacing the broken concrete unless you like that, and clearing out rooms. With it being made of blast-resistant materials, it can make a good base even in mid-game.
