Area Shield

Not to be confused with Particle Shields.

Area shields consume power to protect all blocks within their radii from explosions.

Area shields can be detected with the sign text [areashield].
If an explosion occurs within the Area Shield's radius, the Area Shield loses 2 power for every block that would have been exploded. If an entity is within the Area Shield's radius and it would have been damaged by an explosion, the damage is nullified. Detonators are the exception; their explosion will bypass all area shields.
Due to the nature of these multiblocks' construction, they cannot be placed on ships. They do, however, stop any ships from taking permanent damage (excl. from detonators) while within their bounds.
These multiblocks require power to function. Power can be input into the note block.
