Power switch
11A power switch is used to toggle power of the conduit lines connected to it. It provides an efficient way to control power to several appliances all at once, such as a large array of improvised turrets.
The 'Toggle power' button is used to request the switch to be flipped. A colonist with the 'flick' job type will flip the switch.
To construct a switchable circuit simply place the power switch along a line of conduit between the power source and the appliances. While one of the switch's connectors must connect to conduit to a power source, any or all of the three remaining connectors can be used to create branches. A switch can be placed directly adjacent to a battery or other power source, but the player will probably find it desirable to place the switch close to the appliances it's meant to control. Appliances won't connect directly to a switch, they only connect to conduit.
When the power switch is on the inspect pane displays 'Power: On', and the center of the power switch shows a pale circle.
When the power switch is designated to turn off, the 'Toggle power' button displays a red X.
When the power switch is off , the inspect pane displays 'Power: Off', and the center of the power switch is dark.
When the power switch is designated to turn on, the 'Toggle power' button displays a green check mark.
