Basic connections use the “Basic Adjacency Connector” script and are ultimately the simplest connection type.
These basic shapes are defined below:
O - A variant with no connections.
U - A variant with 1 connection, to the north.
I - A variant with 2 connections opposite of each other, 1 to the north and 1 to the south.
L - A variant with 2 connections adjacent to each other, 1 to the north, and 1 to the east.
T - A variant shaped like a “T”, with 3 connections, 1 to the south, east, and west.
X - A variant shaped like a “+”, with 4 connections, 1 to the north, east, south, & west.
These pieces can be rotated to create many various shapes. This works fine for objects that do not have corner connections (pipes, cables, etc.), but this won’t suffice for objects that do (tables, walls, etc.) because it will leave gaps where the corners meet.
Cables
These heavy-duty high-voltage cables are only used between station engines and related machinery.
Two “I” shapes can cross each other while maintaining separate circuits; they do not have a junction box like the similar “X” shape.
Though similar to wires, wires are more complex (see the “Wire Adjacency Connection” section for more details).
Conveyor Belts
Currently, these do not use a “T” or “X” shape so we can either add those or resolve how a straight piece may connect in such a situation as seen in the image (these may need to get their own unique adjacency connector in the future).
HE Pipes
Heat Exchange Pipes don’t require an “O” shape.
They do however have an special “I” shaped called a “Junction” which connects between the HE pipes and regular pipes on the 4th layer (see the pipe adjacency connections section for more info).
