Activating Radio Towers and Calling Supply Airdrops

Powering Up Towers and Unlocking Channels

Radio towers from Apocalypse Structures act as active broadcast nodes across your world, appearing in three variants: standard, fenced, and overrun. Standard towers broadcast right away, so you only need to walk near one with your hand-held radio turned on to discover and unlock its station. If you come across a fenced or overrun tower, climb or fight your way inside to locate the radio panel, then right-click the panel to turn the broadcast on and unlock its channel.

Calling Airdrops and Spawning Towers

While visiting a tower, you can also interact with the radio panel to call in a supply airdrop. Once triggered, watch the sky around the structure for a parachute or a descending hot air balloon.

If you have operator permissions and want to place an active broadcast node manually, open your chat and run /dead_air spawntower <type> [x] [y] [z]. Enter standard, fenced, or overrun for the tower type, and leave the coordinates blank if you want the structure generated right at your current position.
