==Acquisition==
*200 [[steel]] and 4 [[component]]s.
*Requires Basic Mechtech researched.

==Summary==
*Consumes 300 W of [[power]] when tuned, 100 W of power when untuned.
*Increases a [[mechanitor]]'s [[bandwidth]] by {{+|1}} per band node if powered.
*A band node must be tuned, which takes {{ticks|300}}. The mechanitor does not need to be present for tuning to happen.
*Band nodes can be retuned to another colonist, but the process takes 3 days.

==Analysis==
*All other ways of increasing bandwidth are limited; they require the mechanitor to wear an item.
*Allows the use of more mechanoids. Combat mechs can be very useful for defense.
*Heavy on both [[power]] and resources.
*Does not block [[wind turbine]]s.

-| description = A mechanoid-band signal amplifier. Band nodes must be tuned to a specific mechanitor. This will add 1 bandwidth to that mechanitor's total bandwidth, allowing them to control more mechanoids.<br/>Once a band node is constructed, it can be quickly tuned to a mechanitor. However, retuning a band node to a different mechanitor takes significantly longer.

-A '''band nodes''' is a [[building]] added by the [[Biotech DLC]] that increases the [[bandwidth]] of the [[mechanitor]] tuned to it.

-Band nodes can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. Each requires {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.

+*Consumes 300 W of [[power]] when tuned, 100 W of power when untuned.
-When tuned to a mechanitor, a band node gives {{+|1}} [[bandwidth]] at the cost of 300 W of power. If the node is turned off, then the bandwidth will be retracted. If bandwidth is reduced below a mechanitor's current bandwidth demand, then any unsupported mechs will enter the Uncontrolled state. After 24 hours of being Uncontrolled, mechs have a chance of going feral and permanently leaving the player.
+*Increases a [[mechanitor]]'s [[bandwidth]] by {{+|1}} per band node if powered.
+*A band node must be tuned, which takes {{ticks|300}}. The mechanitor does not need to be present for tuning to happen.
+*Band nodes can be retuned to another colonist, but the process takes 3 days.
-Band nodes start untuned. When untuned, you can tune the node to any present mechanitor in {{Ticks|300}} of time. This process is activated by the player and requires no colonist interaction. If the band node is already tuned, then retuning it instead takes 3 days of time. In the untuned state, band nodes only consume 100 W of power.

+*All other ways of increasing bandwidth are limited; they require the mechanitor to wear an item.
-== Analysis ==
+*Allows the use of more mechanoids. Combat mechs can be very useful for defense.
-Band nodes are the only ''scalable'' means of obtaining bandwidth. That is, if you already have a [[mechlord helmet]], [[mechlord suit]], and [[bandwidth pack]], band nodes are your only option to further increase bandwidth. In a more general sense, having more bandwidth equates to more mechs at any time. No matter what stage in the game you are in, having extra mechs can be a large help.
+*Heavy on both [[power]] and resources.
+*Does not block [[wind turbine]]s.
-Combat mechs can be very useful for defense. Getting that 1-2 extra bandwidth to build a [[centipede]] can go a long way. 300 W and some steel/components for an extra [[agrihand]], [[fabricor]], etc. is useful in a different manner.
-* Heavy on both [[power]] and resources. Large quantities of nodes are heavy on space.
-* Risk of wild mechs during long bouts of power loss, such as EMI [[condition causers]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} or disruption to infrastructure.
-** [[Solar flare]]s are never long enough to have mechs go feral, though you'll lose command of any affected mechs for its duration.
-* Does not block [[wind turbine]]s.
