The big electric pole is part of the second tier of electric poles. It is a sidegrade of the medium electric pole, offering the longest wire reach of all of the electric poles, with the trade-off of a very short supply area.

Its extensive wire reach makes it particularly well-suited to long-ranged power distribution, but its smaller supply area makes it a poor choice for directly connecting to machines; for that, medium electric poles and substations should be used instead.

History

• 0.9.0:
  • Visualizations of Area of effect when hovering on pole.
  • Further optimization on building while holding mouse down.

• 0.7.0:
  • Poles now auto-connect to all poles in reach with no common neighbor.
  • Building electric poles with shift pressed builds it without any connections.

• 0.6.3:
  • Max wire distance between poles is limited to the smallest pole's when manually connecting.

• 0.5.0:
  • Shows what is connected to the electric pole when selected.
  • Added electric network statistics

• 0.4.0:
  • Introduced
