About Orbital Map Uplink
From Factorio Mod PortalSatellite driven orbital reconnaissance with enemy detection and optional Planetary Pacification (Optional Mod) integration.
Orbital Map Uplink
Turn satellites into real orbital intelligence.
Orbital Map Uplink adds a late-game reconnaissance network built around satellite launches, Radar Centers, and Radio Stations. Activate an orbital uplink, power your scan network, refresh explored territory, and detect enemy activity from orbit.
Use it standalone for stronger map intelligence, or pair it with Planetary Pacification for the intended full experience: satellite scans contribute to Conduit signal analysis, helping narrow possible regions without directly revealing the target.
Features
- Satellite-driven orbital scanning
- Radar Center uplink infrastructure
- Radio Station coverage networks
- Local and extended enemy detection
- Map-wide refresh support with sufficient infrastructure
- Optional Planetary Pacification integration
Recommended Companion Mod
Planetary Pacification is strongly recommended.
When both mods are installed, Orbital Map Uplink becomes the reconnaissance layer for the Conduit hunt, giving your late-game campaign a stronger satellite-intelligence and planetary-assault loop.
