This might look about the same as in the previous image, however it's not. In the previous image your ending result had three pieces of wire, one going from the east to the center, one going from the north to the center and one going from the west to the center. In this situation you have two pieces of wire. One going east to west and one going north to center. The two wires don't meet in the center, because the horizontal wire is going east-west without it having a point (or knot) in the center. | This might look about the same as in the previous image, however it's not.

Knot wires (a.k.a nodes wires) also powers any machine on the same tile as them. | |||

Just click on wires that are "knotted" at on end (you just need to click on the wire, not the little knotted dot). | Just click on wires that are "knotted" at on end (you just need to click on the wire, not the little knotted dot). | ||

This method often uses up more wire than dot-wiring, but it's prettier and usually preferred. | This method often uses up more wire than dot-wiring, but it's prettier and usually preferred. | ||
=== Connecting Wires === | |||
Two wires belongs to the same powernet if they have matching ends. | |||

=== Connecting Machines === | |||
Machines are connected to powernets exclusively by nodes cables (a.k.a knot wires): | |||
[[File:machine_wire_1.png|it's alive!]] + [[File:generator.png]] = <font color='green'>Connected</font> | |||
[[File:machine_wire_2.png|booh!]] + [[File:generator.png]] = <font color='red'>Not connected</font> | |||
[[File:machine_wire_3.png|booh!]] + [[File:generator.png]] = <font color='red'>Not connected</font> | |||
Please note that machines must also be anchored (generally wrenched down) to be connected. | |||
'''Special cases''' : | |||
*APC must be connected ''through a terminal'' (meaning you connect the terminal to the powernet), | |||
*SMES input powernet must be connected ''through a terminal'', while SMES output powernet must be connected through a classic node wire under the SMES. | |||
