Adds a Construction Tower with a large construction area of 500x500 but with a small logistics area. It has no space for robots but it charges them faster.
Useful for City Block Bases when you want to use your bots for building but not for logistics.
The Construction Tower has a radar inside that reveals the hole construction area. It has a high energy consumption due to the large area it scans.

Adds also a Drone Charging Station. It has the same size of the logistics area than the Construction Tower but with a way smaller construction area. It can be used to reduce the amount of needed Construction Towers and to charge the robots faster.

To reach the corners of the Construction Towers construction area all 6 levels of the Better Robot Battery technology needs to be researched. This feature can be disabled in the settings (see FAQ)

There are settings to add Robot Slots to the Drone Charging Station and to the Construction Tower. By default no Robots can rest inside them. You can find more infos at the FAQ

There are also settings to change the size of the logistical network of the Drone Charging Station and to the Construction Tower. This can make it easier to cover larger areas but that makes it also harder to build separated networks. You can find more infos at the FAQ
