However, also unlike most electrical items, it is picky about the direction in which it is connected to the cable: -the cable must be directly below the switching station. Due to a bug, -the switching station will visually appear to connect to cables on other -sides, but those connections don't do anything. +the cable must be directly below the switching station. Hovering over a network's switching station will show the aggregate energy supply and demand, which is useful for troubleshooting.
