A power interface for manually disabling power in a circuit.
In-game description

A Power Switch is a small player built utility structures that is similar to a Power Pole, connecting Power Lines together to power nearby facilities, but it can be turned off to stop the power transfer.

Construction

It is built with a Hammer and costs Basic Materials. It can be built anywhere on land except on Roads, rocks, or Bridges. It can be connected with up to 4 Power Lines. Two poles can be linked with a power line if they are less than 25m apart. A Power line cannot have a chain of more than 20 poles (power drops to zero past that), meaning a power line cannot travel longer than 500 meters.

Interactions

  • You can access its interface when on foot by pressing E. It shows how much power is currently in the power line (out of the maximum of 30MW). You can toggle the power transfer in the menu.
  • You can disconnect all power lines attached to the pole by pressing the "Disconnect All Power" DisconnectPowerIcon.png button.
  • It can be demolished TrenchDemolishIcon.png if built less than 28 days ago.
  • It can be reserved for a Squad TrenchReservationIcon.png to prevent non-members from modifying it or toggling the power.
  • It is immune to Friendly Fire but it can be flagged for "Disruptive Structure Placement" RemoveStructureIcon.png to remove the immunity (5 "votes" needed).
  • You can view the Action Logs Log.png in its menu to check the modifications done to it.
