What Does This PR Do

Separates the station's power grid into 2 networks:

  • High power network that is mostly in maints and is hotwired to all engine outputs. Provides power to the lower power network as well as high power devices such as the PTL or BSH.
  • Low power network that is fed by the high power network via SMES in engineering and electrical maints and provides power for most of the station

Why It's Good For The Game

It's currently very difficult to transmit large amounts of power to different areas of the station without arcing all the APCs. This limits the ability of engineering to combine the output power of their engines and also makes it next to impossible to build high power devices anywhere other than engineering.
By allowing them to tap into maints they can now build things like the BSH wherever, and there is also the possibility of adding various other kinds of high power machines for other departments.

Testing

  • Went over both wirenets and made sure there were no shorts or disconnects

Declaration

  • I confirm that I either do not require pre-approval for this PR, or I have obtained such approval and have included a screenshot to demonstrate this below.

Changelog

🆑
add: insulated APCs. These APCs are found in maints and are arc proof
add: Ability to add insulation to APCs. This is done by inserting 10 sheets of plastic while the panel is open
tweak: Added 2 additional electrical maints to each station for a total of 4 SMES locations including engineering.
tweak: Separated the cables going inside and out of maints. outside of maints you get low power, and inside you get high power.
