Power Nodes

Power nodes are capable of both distributing power further to three other power nodes, and storing a small amount of power in their built-in battery. The power nodes are capable of distributing power in a wireless way within a certain area, providing all facilities with power within that area.

Power nodes come in different shape and forms:

• The Power Node - This is the sturdiest of the power nodes, with the widest power distribution area and capable of also storing a decent amount of power. However, it also takes up valuable space.
• The Wall Power Node - This is the medium range power node, works well for facilities with a low and medium power need. Takes less space than the power node due to the possibility to mount it on walls.
• The In-floor Power Node - This is the smallest of the power nodes, and can be mounted in a floor tile. It has the lowest storage capacity and also a smaller power distribution area.

Note! It's always wise to combine power nodes with one or more power capacity nodes for heavy duty industry areas or other high spike power consuming facilities. This will ensure they will run optimally without consuming all the power stored withing power nodes.

Bottleneck situations might occur if power has to be distributed through many power nodes (each distributing it further to many facilities within their area) to some critical facility needing a lot of power. It's critical to build power capacity nodes to prevent these situations from arising.
