Copper cable

Copper cables are very important for manufacturing circuits and electrical connections. Copper cable can also be used. Select the Copper cable from your inventory, and connect it with a left click to two Electric poles. This way, you can manually wire some of the more complex systems, like making steam enginges work only when accumulators are empty.

Ratios

Copper wire is used used nearly solely for Electronic circuits and Advanced circuits. Note, that one Copper plate is needed to craft two wires. This expansion is a problem, cause belts are normally not able to handle that load. This is a typical beginner mistake, but it is not a total fail, cause there are successful designs, which handle this with belts.

There are a number of good designs to handle this without belts:

• Copper wires on belts
• Circuit production from Endgame designs
• Cargo wagon sourced RGB circuits production facility
• New Player Sandbox factory
