Transmission Tower Repair

Lore & Background

Approximately ten years after completion of the mast, inspections revealed structural damage caused by unknown factors. The mast was designed with extreme height to broadcast Polish state media around the world, including to parts of Canada and the United States, and even reaching Antarctica. The official name of the facility was Radiofoniczny Ośrodek Nadawczy w Konstantynowie (Radiophonic Transmission Centre Konstantynów), Radiowe Centrum Nadawcze w Konstantynowie (Radio Transmission Centre Konstantynów; RCN Konstantynów) or Warszawska Radiostacja Centralna (WRC) w Gąbinie (Warsaw Central Radio Station Gąbin). It broadcast Polskie Radio's Program I (unofficially referred to as "Jedynka").

In Their Own Story

The wind howled through the metal skeleton of the tower, carrying the scent of ozone and wild Pals. You climbed the rusted ladder, your breath hitching as a shadow darted past—a Lyleen circling overhead, its wings catching the light. Below, the base hummed with activity, but up here, silence reigned until you placed the final component into the receiver. A spark jumped, then steadied into a rhythmic pulse. The map lit up on your wrist device, new paths unfolding like a promise of adventure.

To initiate this objective, players must first locate a dormant transmission structure near their starting zone or base perimeter. This typically requires gathering basic resources such as wood and stone to stabilize the foundation. Once materials are collected, interact with the tower interface to begin repairs. During this process, hostile Pals may be attracted by the noise or light, requiring the player to defend the site using their own captured companions. Upon completion, the tower activates a fast travel node, allowing instant movement between bases and revealing surrounding map sectors. This unlocks further exploration opportunities and is essential for long-term progression.

Did You Know?

• The mast was 646.30 m (2,120 ft) tall, making it the world's tallest structure from 1974 until its collapse on 8 August 1991.
• Its base was 115.2 metres (378 ft) above sea level and it stood on a 2-metre-high (6.6 ft) insulator because it had a potential difference of 120 kV during operation.
• The elevator, designed by Alimak Hek, took 45 minutes to reach the top and was nicknamed 'Alimak'.
• The transmitter consisted of two 1,000 kW units built by Brown, Boveri & Cie, and an atomic clock was used to generate the transmission frequency.
• The mast had 3 arrays of guy wires attached at 5 levels, with each guy 50 millimetres (2.0 in) in diameter and fixed on a separate anchor block.
