Most appliances will connect automatically if placed up to six squares away from a power transporter, or when one is placed within range. | Appliances are [[structure]]s or buildings that consume power but don't transmit it.

Note that it will display a connection even if the grid it attaches too does not sufficient or any power, and that while an appliance will default to that connection point it will be able to connect to other sources with range using the reconnect gizmo mentioned below. If no yellow wire is shown, there is no connection point in range. |
Once constructed, this connection will be displayed by a black "power cord" that runs from the connecting power transmitting building to the appliance in question. This cord is graphical only and cannot be interacted with or damaged in any way. Additionally, when viewing the power grid, a magenta wire similar to the yellow above will display the connection point of appliances in view. | Once constructed, this connection will be displayed by a black "power cord" that runs from the connecting power transmitting building to the appliance in question.
