signal void questions?
I got the answer I needed, so I just left this up in case anyone else had the same question and needed the answer.

I'm a little confused and had some questions. I've been working on the quest and started in the air field, but I have no idea where to look in Forlorn Muskeg. The only radio tower is to the far north and I went there and couldn't find anything to repair? Also I have no idea if I even need the Short wave radio on me in order to find the correct spot, because it doesn't seem to work unless its the aurora? I also have no idea what the symbols mean, one looks like a book and the other looks like a tube? It just tells me I can switch between the two tracking, but doesn't tell me what I am tracking?

So I am just a little confused. Where in Forlorn is the transmitter I am supposed to repair?

There are 3 radio towers in FM actually, one is where @Tod said.

Does anyone know if Milton's transmitter requires a battery?

Because I started my survival game in Milton before Signal Void, and I'm pretty sure I hacked every battery I could find to get lead for ammo… ><
It's gonna be a HUGE chore If I have to carry a new battery from another region!! :'(

The blek inlet one I think you just need to find where the bunker is during an aurora. You don't need to find a radio tower. The transmitters are in mountain town, forlorn and pleasant valley. The only one I had a hard time finding was the forlorn one.

Mountain town is easy, its just up the hill where you find the old ladies home. Forlorn was answered here and where it can be found. Pleasant valley, well there is only the one radio in the region and you should be able to find it. Its signal hill.

Yes you need a battery for each transmitter you have to find. I found one rather easily inside the building near the tower there. I didn't actually have a battery on me at the time, but it was hidden behind a table and I just noticed it there and it wasn't there before.

Maybe the devs added some extra batteries with the Signal Void update? That'd be great!
Come to think of it, especially for Forlon Muskeg or the othe uncivilized regions.
Jackalope Apr 4, 2023 @ 1:13pm 
I think so, because I didn't have one with me and looked around and found one near the place or in one of the storage things. At the airport it was just on the ground and I know it wasn't there before, because I was living at that area before this update.

I'll see when I get back there. Thanks for your input, @Jackalope! :)
Jackalope Apr 4, 2023 @ 4:38pm 
well hopefully there is one, if not then I guess you'd have to carry one over there.
fixius01 Apr 4, 2023 @ 4:52pm 
so my diary says that i have fixed 4 out of 6 transmitter but finished the tale?

My second trip through Milton and no battery, went all the way out to the bridge at the far end and nothing.....:( Anybody have a possible location of one?
