Switchboard

Switchboards are used to connect generators to the outputs (e.g. machines, wheels, lights). They can be found as the first entry in the Energy category of the Build window. As of around 0.8.6 these are required to make the connection. Switchboards can be placed on a variety of surfaces including machines and are similar dimensions to armour block cubes.

Step by step

 * 1) Hover over the generator and press "C" on your keyboard
 * 2) Click the option with the plug with wire around it or press "2" on your keyboard
 * 3) Select the switchboard to make the connection (ribbon) and press Tabs twice to exit
 * 4) Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the switchboard
 * 5) This time click the output machine, light, wheels or doors to create the link to them

You cannot link generators directly to multiple outputs, must be done via switchboard. The switchboard can be turned on/off by pressing E when over it and will in turn affect the outputs.
