A hidden conduit transmits power from generators or batteries to appliances up to six squares away. Conduit doesn't block the placement of other structures and isn't blocked by them, so conduit can be placed wherever it's needed, even in walls, except unsmoothed mountain rocks and ores. Hidden conduits differ from power conduits in that they are invincible, invisible, and immune to short circuits.
Acquisition[edit]
Conduits can be constructed once the Electricity research project has been completed. They require 2 Steel and more work than regular power conduits.
Summary[edit]
Hidden conduits transport power. There must be a direct connection to another conduit, power switch, battery, or power source for a conduit to be able to transport power. Electric appliances, such as an electric stove, can link up to a conduit, battery, or generator up to 6 tiles away. Anything with the "Reconnect" gizmo can attach to a distant conduit, but conduits can't attach to a distant conduit.
Analysis[edit]
Due to their invincibility, no effect on beauty, and resistance to short circuits they are superior to power conduits in every way. Unless truly strapped for steel or labor, they are always preferable.
