 | Property | Details | | :--- | :--- | | **Type** | Exterior Facilities | | **Category** | Power | | **Description** | Extends the range of a power source. Exploits the Tamura-Murai process to transmit high-frequency current through ionized seawater. | | **Fragments Required** | 1 |  -The **Power Transmitter**, also known as the "Vaporway Wireless Power Pylon", is an energy-relaying Exterior Facility used to manage power distribution in Subnautica 2.+The **Power Transmitter**, also known as the "Vaporway Wireless Power Pylon", is an energy-relaying Exterior Facility used to manage power distribution for Seabases.   ## Recipe  -The blueprint for the Power Transmitter is unlocked by scanning one fragment. It can be crafted using the Habitat Builder.+The blueprint for the Power Transmitter is unlocked by scanning fragments found in the world. It is constructed using the Habitat Builder.   | Ingredient | Amount | | :--- | :--- | | Titanium | 1 | | Copper | 1 |   ## Purpose   Power Transmitters serve two primary functions in base building:   1.  **Extending Range**: They extend the effective range of energy-producing Exterior Facilities by 20 meters. Unlike Beacons, Power Transmitters require a direct line of sight to one another to establish a connection.-2.  **Connecting Detached Generators**: They are required to harness energy from **Hydroelectric Turbines** and **Thermal Plants**. These generators do not connect directly to Seabases; a Power Transmitter must be built attached to the Seabase to bridge the connection.+2.  **Connecting Detached Generators**: Facilities such as **Hydroelectric Turbines** and **Thermal Plants** do not connect directly to Seabases. A Power Transmitter must be built attached to the Seabase (or connected via a chain of transmitters) to harness the energy produced by these detached generators.  -## Fragments+## Fragments & Locations  -Scanning fragments unlocks the blueprint. Below are known locations for Power Transmitter fragments:+One fragment is required to unlock the blueprint. Below are known locations where fragments can be found:   | Coords & Depth | Description | Image | | :--- | :--- | :--- |-| -271757, 434671 @ 150m | Outside the front entrance of the Tadpole Pens | ![300px](wiki-images/d5/d5a84828b3822e68fe21a601b951491b.png) |-| -351705, 458047 @ 90m | In Spires Wreck 1, to the NW of the Great Jaw | ![300px](wiki-images/c9/c9c29d9f19eea3d6c1f0b40cfe0b630d.png) |-| -344230, 400238 @ 39m | SE of Old Habitat | ![300px](wiki-images/b9/b97e6685dca8928cf08673a2a1ee22b3.png) |-| -324396, 396612 @ 47m | E of Old Habitat | ![300px](wiki-images/21/21772b6f35ea3b2b15fbfbc3b5a7c4dd.png) |+| -271757, 434671 @ 150m | Outside the front entrance of the [Tadpole Pens](Tadpole_Pens) | ![300px](wiki-images/d5/d5a84828b3822e68fe21a601b951491b.png) |+| -351705, 458047 @ 90m | In [Spires Wreck 1](Spires_Wreck_1), to the NW of the [Great Jaw](Great_Jaw) | ![300px](wiki-images/c9/c9c29d9f19eea3d6c1f0b40cfe0b630d.png) |+| -344230, 400238 @ 39m | SE of [Old Habitat](Old_Habitat) | ![300px](wiki-images/b9/b97e6685dca8928cf08673a2a1ee22b3.png) |+| -324396, 396612 @ 47m | E of [Old Habitat](Old_Habitat) | ![300px](wiki-images/21/21772b6f35ea3b2b15fbfbc3b5a7c4dd.png) | | -315624, 420176 @ 62m | E of Digestion Angel Comb in cave | ![300px](wiki-images/a5/a54a3bfea799fc66a01dc2d902031d60.png) |-| -290554, 457167 @ 95m | In a ruined Tailing structure on the South side of the Tailings Village | ![300px](wiki-images/f5/f5df21b1159a9f568b8e165bb2d79d54.png) |+| -290554, 457167 @ 95m | In a ruined Tailing structure on the South side of the [Tailings Village](Tailings_Village) | ![300px](wiki-images/f5/f5df21b1159a9f568b8e165bb2d79d54.png) |   ## Databank Entry  -**Power Transmitter**+**Source**: Unlock the Power Transmitter blueprint  -The "Vaporway" wireless power pylon uses IEEE-compliant microwave beams to link power supplies to distant customers.
