Overview
Satellite Dish is the puzzle to learn on. There is no scientist garrison, radiation is low enough that starter clothing covers it, and the whole route is two sheds standing next to each other. Run it on wipe day and you leave with a blue keycard.
Find the two sheds
Walk in under the big dish and look for the pair of small structures on opposite sides of the field. One holds the power, the other holds the loot.
Put the fuse in the power shed
The power shed is the one with no keycard reader. Insert your Electric Fuse into the fuse box on the wall inside.
Flip the switch
The switch is on the back wall — often outside, around the rear of the same shed. Flip it and the reader across the field goes live.
Swipe green on the other shed
Cross the dish field to the second structure and swipe your green keycard on the reader.
Take the blue card and the crates
Inside are crates and a blue keycard on the table, usually with a blueprint fragment. Recycle the barrels around the dish bases on your way out.
