Power Pole/zh

Power Poles are small towers or attachments that can be used to extend the range of Power Lines and to transfer power from buildings that produce power to buildings that consume it. Ground Power Poles can be placed on regular ground but will also snap to foundations. Wall Power Poles are unlocked through the AWESOME Shop and can be placed on walls or to the bottom of foundations.

Higher marks of Power Poles are unlocked in the Caterium Research tree. After a ground Power Pole is researched, the corresponding Wall Power Pole is made available for purchase in the AWESOME Shop.

Each Power Pole can handle an unlimited amount of power passing through it, however they have a limited number of connections possible based on the mark of the power pole. Power Poles can be linked together with a Power Line for up to 100 meters apart. It is recommended to leave at least one spare connection on each Pole for lines coming from and going to other poles.

Marks
There are currently 3 marks of Power Poles available, distinguished by ingredients, connections, and height.

Construction

 * While constructing Power Lines and the 2nd target is not a building, an additional Power Pole will be automatically placed on the cursor's location, as displayed by the hologram.
 * This hologram will convert to a Wall Outlet if the cursor is aimed at either a wall or the bottom/side of a foundation.
 * Power Poles can be upgraded in-place just like Conveyors and Miners.
 * Both sides of Double-Sided Wall Outlets are connected internally. The amount of connections is per side, not in total. However, it is possible to connect both sides with a Power Line, reducing the amount of available connections by 1 on each connector (as it cannot be easily removed, the wall the outlet it is attached to has to be dismantled first)
