Satellite Dish

From HBM's Nuclear Tech Wiki
A satellite dish towering over a savanna

An imposing satellite dish with a control center underneath, full of highly useful loot. A particularly valuable structure to find throughout a playthrough.

Where to find

This generates in the plains and desert biomes. The structure is exceedingly rare, but highly rewarding in terms of the vast quantities of Aluminium and Concrete that can be mined from the structure.

Dangers

Not particularly dangerous, and even has cage lamps dotted around that can be switched on by interacting with them, removing darkness that would otherwise allow mob spawns. Try not to fall from the main dish however, as it is fairly high up.
