Cables are used to connect factory buildings to each other to form power grids. They have no limit on capacity/throughput.
Placing Connections
To place a cable, right-click on any valid building to start a cable chain. A preview will then appear when looking at a block, showing whether the connection is allowed. Right-click again to place the cable. The start of the chain will now be the previous endpoint. Right-click while sneaking to reset the chain.
Limitations
- Cables can be no longer than 32 blocks
- All buildings have a limit to how many cables can be connected to them (2, unless otherwise stated). Power Poles serve to mitigate this
Removing Connections
Cable Cutters can be used to sever unwanted cable connections between two endpoints. Cables exist purely as data and thus cannot be demolished using the Build Gun.
Cutting cables functions identically to placing them, except the previous endpoint will not become the current endpoint; both ends must be selected again to cut another cable.
