Discuss.
Apc's would still be a thing, they would just work differently.
Cables would be made easier to attach to eachother, etc.
There is an electrical department in engineering. They need something to do.
Makes coding easier. Is still realistic.
Etc.

A knotted cable below the apc?
Well.. how are you going to try to make apc's work I guess? Not entirely sure I understand.

Apc connects to big power cable, And a regular power cable (This is just a possible way for it to work.) And controls how much energy goes into the regular one, and other details. Like possibly storing backup energy. Or turning the lights off when noone is in the room.

Heh, I kinda like the 'turning off the lights off when no one is in the room'. The big power cable/regular power cable seems like an interesting idea. And the apc controlling what's released into the regular cable. Storing a small amount of backup energy could be a thing. And another unit to store greater amount or energy, or replacing a part of two inside the apc to do that.

I vote that small cables should be able to hold a maximum of 500kW and big cables can hold up to 2MW. Oh! And have monofiliament wires that will go to each APC from "substations".

Would the wires go from the APC automatically, or would you need to attach them? (Preferably with clicky-ness.)
I actually like the suggested numbers. I'm not sure how practical they are atm though. Anyone else think these sound good?

The uses of the wires and their actual capacities will depend on the materials used, and the way players use them. So researching better power equipment would be a thing here.

Cables should be AC (alternating current, current can go both ways) |
