    We know that the rescue beacon spawns a ufo boss, space battle ;) ?

    Probably you won't be able to. Or no effect, like hull is shielding the signal.

    Or maybe it works as intended and you really do get rescued.

    As I have yet to play the game or see it on stream I have no clue it's a good question for you to ask in FAQ.

    Seems unprobable, as you still need that thing from the pinguin mothership to get to tier2 planets :)

    From the stream, it looked like the game was a bit picky where you could place the beacon. So based on that, I'm guessing no.

    an even better, better question, what happens when you replace all words in the thread from beacon to bacon?

    I think that was them just being stupid. The beacon looked to have a base of 3, where the girder tower had a base of 2. They tried to put it up there, but of course it's not going to let you put it on something that doesn't have a big enough base. Then they tried to put it on top of the building, where they already built some fence props, so again no real big surprise it couldn't be built there. To me it looked to simply be a case of someone pushing on a pull door and wondering why it wouldn't open. The good news is at least they did wonder and instead of simply trying the same thing over and over again did find a nice flat ground area to put it.

    That's it, we already know how to win, game over, we can all go home.

    I can only assume the beacon won't work in the ship. It might crash the game at this point in development. Or unexpected penguin things may happen aboard the ship.

    You'll get to fight a SpaceSpiderPig, because you know, a SpaceSpiderPig does whatever a SpaceSpiderPig does.
