The Satus Signal Box is one of the most essential signal boxes in the game. It controls Satus Services, Conby and Satus Level Crossing (formerly Steynbath Crossing), and holds traffic between Fanory Mill and Dovedale East. The line which the box controls is almost entirely single track and traffic builds up easily due to the spawn points at Fanory Mill and Satus Sidings, which often leads to the line being blocked to oncoming traffic from Fanory Mill or Dovedale East.
The box previously had a 750 XP requirement, but it was later increased to 1250 XP. This was to reflect the difficulty changes in the box. The new box more suited for new players is now instead Marigot Crossing Signal Box.
