Green Warning Beacon
« on: January 07, 2020, 02:35:46 PM »

So I just found this:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1v4Uo0GrFxFmQNb8wJpXZKt5OQZ0qXSbF

And I have no idea what it does. I am tempted to put down a colony here to see what happens, but I am a bit low on funds. Also I looted the ruins before I read the beacon, so there is that too. . .

Anyone know what this does and what mod it is from?

That's a plague beacon from Nexerelin. It appears in random sector, around planets that have ruins and/or

Ah ok, so it's from Nex. Is it just a flavor thing, or does it actually impact a colony you put down there?

The beacon itself has no direct effect, no. (It just indicates the presence of conditions that do affect a colony)

That was kinda the question. I am just getting enough finds to colonize that system and was wondering if it was worth it to colonize that planet. I am not aware that Nex has something like a "doom clock" that spreads a plague to the entire sector or something like that, so I wanted to know what was up.
