A '''telescope''' is a [[recreation]] item that provides "{{P|Recreation Type}}" recreation to a single [[colonist]] using it, with a power of {{#expr:100*{{P|Recreation Power}}}}%. It also slowly increases the [[Skills#Intellectual|Intellectual]] skill. It can only be obtained through [[trade]].

== Summary ==
+
==Analysis==
Telescopes can only be used if the tile that they are placed on is unroofed. Note that the interaction spot need not be unroofed.  
+
While the description states that it must be placed "outside", a telescope can be placed on any unroofed tile.  Indeed, a colonist using one placed inside an impressive room will gain the "impressive rec room" thought. Only the telescope tile itself needs to be unroofed; the interaction tile can remain roofed.
  
Using a telescope slowly increases the [[Skills#Intellectual|Intellectual]] skill of the user at a rate of 0.004 XP per {{Ticks|1}}
+
Colonists using a telescope will gain a small amount of Intellectual skill.  A chair placed on the interaction tile will provide a colonist using it comfort.
  
A pawn must have a [[Sight]] capacity above 0% to use a telescope.
+
A telescope is a useful item to obtain if you need to increase recreational variety.  While all telescopes only have 100% recreational power, they provide a unique [[Recreation]] "study" type that cannot be obtained from any other item.
  
== Analysis ==
+
==Trivia==
A telescope is a useful item to obtain if you need to increase recreational variety.  While all telescopes only have 120% recreational power, they provide a unique [[Recreation]] "study" type that cannot be obtained from any other item. This means the lack of accrued boredom more than makes up for a base recreation power between tier one and two recreational items and unaffected by [[quality]] modifiers.
 
 
 
Colonists using a telescope will also gain a small amount of Intellectual skill, however this is generally not enough to warrant specific action from the player.
 
 
 
=== Placement ===
 
While the description states that it must be placed "outside", a telescope can be placed on any unroofed tile. Furthermore, only the telescope tile itself needs to be unroofed; the interaction tile can remain roofed. Thus, a colonist can be kept both indoors and out of the [[weather]] by simply unroofing a single tile inside the usual rec room and even gain the usual "impressive rec room" [[mood]] buff.  A chair can also be placed on the interaction tile to provide [[comfort]] to colonist using it.
 
 
 
== Trivia ==
 
 
Despite being uncraftable, there is a partial recipe defined for the telescope in the game files. Namely, {{icon Small|steel}} 50 [[steel]] and {{icon Small|Component}} 1 [[component]]. It is possible this is used to calculate the amount deconstruction returns, or it may simply be cut content.
