How do you use the orbital trading beacon.
Orbital trade beacon roof.
Hopefully the trader won t beam stuff down to a beacon that s not powered.
Does it need to be outdoors.
The 4 pillar layout is enough to hold up a roof over the stockpile and you can mine out whatever you want on the outside.
Also you need one beacon that is places outside meaning without a roof.
Ordering a colonist to use the console will bring up a menu showing the available factions or trade ships.
