Button Repeater

The Button Repeater is an Automation item in Astroneer. It allows players to activate connected modules wither by interacting, or with Sensors sending signals.

Uses

 * The Button Repeater is a Tier-1 widget printed from the Small Printer. It can be placed in any Tier-1 slot, or can simply be placed on the ground (doing so will anchor the button to the ground or to the wall).
 * The button can be activated multiple ways, including:
 * Manually (via the "use" context key)
 * Another button
 * A sensor
 * A context slot on the front or back of a rover
 * A reaction slot on the Hoop and Arch platforms
 * The yellow spike at the top of the button is the Target Pin. Clicking the spike will allow the player to plant the Pin on an acceptable module (much like the Winch), as well as letting them create a branch point. Up to 12 Pins and branch points can be created from a single Button Repeater.
 * While the small branch point spikes can be used to create a new Target Pin, the spikes themselves cannot be used to trigger modules.
 * Creating a new Target Pin from a branch point will count as one of the button's 12 available spikes.
 * Activating the button will activate or toggle the state of all connected modules, which also causes the Button and Wires to flash green. The list of toggleable modules and their behaviors can be found in the next section.
 * While the button can be placed on and activated by the Backpack's two auxiliary slots, one cannot create a Target Pin from a button attached to any backpack slot.
 * Anchoring a Target Pin to a platform will allow the button to toggle all items on that platform.
 * Similarly, anchoring a Target Pin to any non-canister storage will allow all items on that storage to be toggled at once.
