| Property | Details |-| :--- | :--- |+| --- | --- | | **Category** | Power (Exterior Facilities) | | **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** is an energy-relaying Exterior Facility used to manage power distribution in Subnautica 2. -The **Power Transmitter** is an energy-relaying Exterior Facility used to manage power distribution for Seabases.- ## Recipe -The blueprint for the Power Transmitter can be unlocked by scanning a Power Transmitter fragment. A list of fragment locations can be found in the [Fragments](#fragments) section below.+The blueprint for the Power Transmitter is unlocked by scanning one fragment. It can be crafted using the Habitat Builder. -| Ingredient | Quantity |-| :--- | :--- |+| Ingredient | Amount |+| --- | --- | | Titanium | 1 | | Copper | 1 | -**Crafted at:** Habitat Builder- ## Usage -Power Transmitters extend the range of energy-producing Exterior Facilities by 20 meters. While they can be placed similarly to Beacons, Power Transmitters require line of sight to one another to establish a connection.+Power Transmitters serve two primary functions: -A Power Transmitter must be built attached to a Seabase to harness the energy produced by Hydroelectric Turbines and Thermal Plants, as these generators do not connect to Seabases on their own.+1. **Range Extension**: They extend the range of energy-producing Exterior Facilities by 20 meters. Unlike Beacons, Power Transmitters require line of sight to one another to establish a connection.+2. **Generator Connection**: They are required to connect Seabases to detached power generators, specifically **Hydroelectric Turbines** and **Thermal Plants**, which do not connect to Seabases directly. ## Fragments -Power Transmitter fragments can be found at the following locations:+Scanning a fragment unlocks the blueprint. Below are known locations for Power Transmitter fragments: | Coords & Depth | Description | Image |-| :--- | :--- | :--- |+| --- | --- | --- | | -271757, 434671 @ 150m | Outside the front entrance of the Tadpole Pens |  | | -351705, 458047 @ 90m | In Spires Wreck 1, to the NW of the Great Jaw |  | | -344230, 400238 @ 39m | SE of Old Habitat |  | | -324396, 396612 @ 47m | E of Old Habitat |  | | -315624, 420176 @ 62m | E of Digestion Angel Comb in cave |  | | -290554, 457167 @ 95m | In a ruined Tailing structure on the South side of the Tailings Village |  | ## Databank Entry -**Source:** Unlock the Power Transmitter blueprint+**Source**: Unlock the Power Transmitter blueprint > The "Vaporway" wireless power pylon uses IEEE-compliant microwave beams to link power supplies to distant customers. Chaining multiple pylons together allows for effectively lossless power transmission across hundreds of meters. > > Underwater, the Vaporway exploits the Tamura-Murai capacitative coupling process to send current through ionized seawater. > > - Build near power supplies or other power transmitters to extend their range > - Required to connect bases to detached generators, such as hydroelectric turbines >-> Avoid the clearly marked beam path. Do not spend prolonged periods in the beam. Despite the significant protection of your AEP suit, the results can be fatal.+> Avoid the clearly marked beam path. Do not spend prolonged periods in the beam. Despite the significant protection of your AEP suit, the results can be fatal.+ +## Trivia+ +* The "Tamura-Murai capacitative coupling process" mentioned in the databank refers to a real-world method of wireless power transfer through seawater developed by Japanese researchers Masaya Tamura and Kousuke Murai, created to wirelessly charge marine drones.
