Extenders

Extenders are used to extend the distances of the power cables for bases, and can be used to support power networks between distant bases. They do not carry oxygen, so they will have to be placed alongside tethers. Extenders are fabricated in packs of 5.

Use
To place an extender, you must first place the extender pack on the ground, then activate the pack while it is on the ground to spawn one of its extenders.
 * Vehicles and Splitters have extender-like mechanics built into them, in which power can only flow one way. This excludes vehicles connecting to another vehicle. This would create a rover chain.
 * At the moment power only flows in one direction through the extenders. Power flows from the port you initially clicked on, through the extender, and then out of the extender to the port you click on last. When connected, yellow arrows will move along the power cable and indicate the direction of power flow.
 * This function is very useful to direct which part of the base should prioritize getting power. A splitter is also good for this task, especially since you can restrict power to parts as well.
 * If you need it to flow both ways, it is recommended to use a Worklight, Small Solar Panel or Small Wind Turbine as an extender instead, or have another line of extenders going through a platform without extenders.
 * If you unplug an extender anywhere in the line and plug it back in in the opposite direction, the entire line will reverse.
