Cables

Cables in Stationeers are used to build cable networks. Cable networks can be used for Power, Data or both simultaneously. There are currently two types of cables in the game; the regular Cable, as well as the Heavy Cable. The Heavy Cable has a much higher tolerance for the maximum amount power that can be used at once on the network, or "Power Actual".

All cables that are directly connected will form one network. If you build a network for data only you don't need to add a power source to that network, but some structures have a combined power/data port which does mean that you can't necessarily separate the two types of networks.
