Electrical Cable — Detailed Guide

Electrical Cable is the wiring of a powered base. Cables carry electricity from a Generator to Electrical Outlets, and each outlet then powers the electric devices around it, such as refrigerators, air conditioners and electric lights.

How to get it

The name covers a family of pieces: straight, inclined, vertical and flexible cables, plus the cable intersection. A straight cable costs 2 Metal Ingot (or Scrap Metal Ingot) and is made in a Fabricator. A straight cable weighs 1 and they stack to 100.

What it is used for

Lay a run of cable from the generator to every outlet you need. Without that connection the outlet, and everything relying on it, stays unpowered.

Tips

Plan the route before you build. Running cables along walls and ceilings keeps them out of the way, and an intersection lets one line feed several rooms.
