Combolands Conduit Guide: How the Trigger Works

Quick answer

When Conduit triggers, it triggers up to a variable number of other buildings in range. The public string does not expose the count or radius, so use the live placement highlights for the exact run you are playing.

How Conduit works

The current public localization string reads as a triggered effect: when Conduit activates, it activates up to a set number of other buildings within range. Two details matter. First, it targets other buildings, not itself. Second, the string describes another activation; it does not say that Conduit copies a score, extends adjacency or changes a building's Guild.

How to place Conduit

Choose the effects worth repeating. Read the candidate buildings before committing Conduit. A second activation is only useful when the target's own trigger advances your score, economy or removal plan.
Use the live range preview. The public string contains unresolved variables for both target count and range. Do not plan around a radius copied from an old run or another site.
Avoid low-value targets. If more buildings are in range than Conduit can trigger, target selection may matter. The public string does not explain whether selection is random, ordered or player-controlled.
Confirm the trigger that starts Conduit. The extracted description explains the output, not the event that activates Conduit. Read the first line of the card in your current build.

What Conduit does not prove

A Google summary currently describes Conduit like an adjacency or range extender. That wording is not supported by the public game string we could inspect. Conduit may be part of a larger range strategy, but its documented effect is to trigger buildings already in range.

Why the exact number is missing here

The community localization archive exposes placeholders named ActivationCount and InRange instead of resolved values. Those values may be supplied by the live card, upgrades or run state. This page leaves them open instead of turning a placeholder into a fake number.

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

What does Conduit do in Combolands?

The public v1.0.2 game string says that when Conduit triggers, it triggers up to a certain number of other buildings in range. The shared string keeps the count and range as variables, so this guide does not invent those values.

Does Conduit extend another building’s range?

The available game string describes Conduit as a trigger relay. It does not say that Conduit extends adjacency, range or Guild tags. Treat any range-extender description as unverified unless the live card says so.

Which buildings should go near Conduit?

Prioritize buildings whose own effect is useful when triggered again. Check the live target highlights and the current Conduit card because the public string does not reveal the numeric range, target count or target-selection rule.

Can Conduit trigger itself?

The public string says “other” buildings, which excludes Conduit itself from the described targets. It does not settle whether two Conduits can target one another.
