Power switch
A power switch is used to toggle power of the conduit lines connected to it. Often times the power consumption in a grid exceeds its supply, making it necessary to temporarily power off appliances that aren't needed. Electric appliances themselves can be power toggled but the power isn't switched until a colonist arrives to carry out the request. Building a power switch may be preferred because it easily and instantly allows the player to turn on or off power to a branch of conduit. The branch may connect just a single appliance or even a large array of turrets.
To construct a switchable circuit simply place the power switch along a line of conduit between the power source and the appliances.
When the power switch is on the 'Toggle power' button displays a green check mark, the info box displays 'Power: On', and the center of the power switch shows a pale circle.
When the power switch is off the 'Toggle power' button displays a red X, the info box displays 'Power: Off', and the center of the power switch is dark.
