New: Utility Bus 1.0.0
One duct flush in floor, wall or ceiling carries up to 25 named strands per type for gas, liquid, data and power – joined by connectors.
The Utility Bus is on the Workshop. Instead of running cables and pipes across the station, you lay one duct flush into floor, wall or ceiling and hook your devices up to named strands via connectors:
- Duct: five shapes from straight to the floor/wall transition, turned with C + mouse wheel. The cover sits walkable and flush on the plate.
- Strands: gas, liquid, data and power with data, up to 25 per type in one duct network. The same name means connected.
- Effect: gas and liquid equalise like one pipe network, data makes devices visible to IC10, power flows regulated with 5 kW, 100 kW or 500 kW per strand.
- Cost: by default as much pipe or cable as the path through the duct is long, a setting makes it a flat price or free. Both kits come from the Autolathe.
- IC10 and console: strand selection via
put, commandleitungsbus. Duct covers and connectors can be painted.
