Guide

Power Lines form the backbone of your factory's electrical grid, enabling you to connect machines and distribute electricity efficiently across your setup. Without a robust network of Power Lines, machines cannot operate reliably, making them essential for any production line that relies on powered equipment.

As you expand your factory, establishing and maintaining a functional power network becomes increasingly important. Power Lines allow you to link new machines to power sources, supporting both incremental upgrades and large-scale expansions.

With a generous stack size, Power Lines can be placed in bulk, making it easier to prepare for future growth and adapt to changing factory layouts.

Tips

• Laying out Power Lines by hand can become tedious in large or complex factories, so consider planning your routes ahead of time to reduce unnecessary wiring.
• Be mindful of the maximum connection distance between power poles and lines - exceeding this limit will leave machines unpowered and disrupt production.
• Keeping extra Power Lines in your inventory helps you respond quickly to expansion needs or unexpected gaps in your grid.
• Mapping out main power corridors before building can minimize redundant lines and streamline future upgrades.
