The '''substation''' is the third tier of [[Electric system#Distribution|electric poles.]] It offers the largest supply area of all of the electric poles, and the second-largest wire reach, beaten only by the [[big electric pole]].
The '''substation''' is an advanced [[Electric system#Distribution|electric pole]]. It offers a vast supply area with a wire reach long enough to accommodate efficient coverage of an area with very few dead spots, if handled properly. However, this comes at a cost of larger dimensions of the substations, which may make them difficult to place, and their production involves relatively advanced components.
 
Its massive supply area makes it the best choice for powering large, dense areas of machinery. However, its 2x2 footprint can make it difficult to place in certain situations. Additionally, its cost can limit its usefulness mid-game until mass-production of [[advanced circuit]]s is achieved.

The substation is an advanced electric pole. It offers a vast supply area with a wire reach long enough to accommodate efficient coverage of an area with very few dead spots, if handled properly. However, this comes at a cost of larger dimensions of the substations, which may make them difficult to place, and their production involves relatively advanced components.

History

  • 0.15.0:
    • Increased the substation supply area (16X16 to 18X18) and wire reach (16 to 18).
