Radio tower is a structure that is part of a [Settlement](https://github.com/simon987/Much-Assembly-Required/wiki/Settlement). It can be used to broadcast messages in a certain range. To use it, simply send data via the [ComPort](https://github.com/simon987/Much-Assembly-Required/wiki/Hardware:-Universal-Com-Port) while standing directly in front of the tower.
Nearby units with a [Radio Receiver](https://github.com/simon987/Much-Assembly-Required/wiki/Hardware:-Radio-Receiver) will be able to receive the data.

The radio tower currently has a range of 3 worlds, meaning that any unit in a world within a [Manhattan distance](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_geometry) of 3 of the tower will receive the messages.
Each message is 8 character long and a single tower can send up to 16 messages per tick.
If more than 1 tower is within range, the unit will receive messages from both towers.
