Heavi-Watt Wire

Heavi-Watt Wire carries 20 times more power than a standard Wire, but causes very low decor values for a wide area. It should therefore not run along the pathways the Duplicants walk or work along regularly.
Tips
- It cannot run through tiles or doors, so plan ahead.
- Because of its huge negative decor impact it makes sense to run this wire along separated maintenance tunnels without Duplicant access - and only in spaces where Duplicants do not need to work. Shield it with walls and doors wherever it runs near Duplicant operated items.
- For the same reason do not connect it to Duplicant operated items like the Manual Generator - use a Power Transformer to connect it in appropriate distance and then use other wires from there.
- You can use Heavi-Watt Joint Plate with Heavi-Watt Wire if you need to go past doors or single tiles.
