Overview

In-game description
A large light up frame

Plan the wire before you hang the frame. As far as players know, the glow in a light-up frame comes from your base's electricity, not from fuel like a lantern, so with no power it is a picture on a wall and nothing more.

The frame itself is cheap: 150 wood and no workbench, although you cannot research it. Power is the real price. Say a small generator already feeds the turret over your door, or a charged small battery sits in the loot room. One more run with the wire tool and the frame lights up too.

Do not expect it to light a room the way a lantern does. Treat it as a picture that glows and hang it where people should look: over the entrance, or behind the workbench where everyone stops anyway.

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.

At power grid stage 2 a green recycler works at 60% instead of 50%. Yields depend on the recycler.
