In 0.6 the beacon comes in. I wondered a while, what this should be used for.
Suggestion: different naming. "Field effect beacon", "influencer", "modular field beacon"... Not the best, but just to start discussion.
For those who doesn't know: the beacon is a device, where you can put modules in and it "influences" in a diameter of 9x9 all surrounding devices. So if you for example use the electric furnace and put 9 of them around a beacon and fill all of them with production module class 2 you can increase the production by about 50%, if I calculated correctly.

Oh my, I never knew what it was needed for. I had produced one and placed it as kind of a decorative item *lol*

Re: Better description for beacon
I remember. I was really confused. I never heard beacon before, so first I mixed it up with bacon. Of course I realized quickly, that this cannot be right.
Then I searched beacon in an online dictionary and there beacon was translated into the German word for „lighthouse“. That gave me the rest.
