With this in place, you'll be able to place objects next to it without the need of a wire. The Power Pylon can be placed on the ground and is typically used outdoors. X4 Copper, Ceramic x3, x8 Steel, x1 Rubber There are several items that will allow you to create a power grid where these objects needing power can be placed. While some objects just need a simple wire to activate, others will need to be placed in a power grid. Traps require a wired connection, but they do not subtract from your total electricity output from a generator. You will also want to avoid sending a wire through a wall or another object as this can also cause it not to work. In that case, you'll want to install Power Pylon to allow the wire to go further. If the object is too far, the wire won't connect. How close the generator is to the object is also important. You'll know it's ready when the wire is no longer red! With the wire visible, move the cursor to the object and have it connect. Look at the options below and hit the button or key that says Attach Wire. How do you do this? Enter the Workshop mode and have the generator highlighted. Not quite sure what to do next? In order to connect an object requiring Power, you'll need to connect a copper wire from the generator to the object. For example, a small generator can only produce three electricity, so you can only put up to three Construction Lights as each one requires one electricity. Keep in mind that the amount of electricity that a generator produces is meant as a total, not a minimum that an object requires.
