| description = A mech-band signaling device. When activated, it puts out a powerful mech signal pulse, which will attract an ultra-heavy feral mechanoid to attack with its escorts. If you can defeat it, you can collect special technologies from its corpse. The signal pulse burns out the transmitter, so this building can only be used once. | | description = A mech-band signaling device.

In terms of actual cost, the war queen arrives with 600 steel worth of [[war urchin]]s, and its allies can be shredded down, too. This results in the antenna being a complete positive in steel once [[Research#Fabrication|Fabrication]] is available. Even when you can't fabricate components, the cost of an antenna is quite small for what a powerfocus chip gets you. |
