Facility Requirements
Prerequisites: Alien Nav Computer (Research)
Time to Build: 21 Days (11 days with Advanced Construction)
Facility Cost:
- 8 Power
- 5 Engineers (+15 Engineers for each preexisting Nexus, +10 for each preexisting Satellite Uplink)
- §300 (§250 in XCOM: Enemy Within)
- 25 Alloys
- 2 UFO Flight Computers
Facility Maintenance: §26 per month
Notes
- If launching the maximum number of satellites (16), the most efficient layout is obtained by constructing two Satellite Nexus and two Satellite Uplinks in a square (2x2) shape. This allows 12 satellites from the facilities, and 4 from the adjacency bonuses.
