Network Connections
What Does "Network" Mean?
A "Network" is a group of devices linked by blocks that can pass channels, like cables or fullblock machines and devices. (, , , etc.) Technically a single cable is a network, actually.
An Aside On Device Positioning
For devices which have some specific network function (like an pushing to and pulling from network storage, a reading the contents of network storage, an being network storage, etc.) the physical position of the device does not matter.
Again, the physical position of the device does not matter. All that matters is that the device is connected to the network (and of course which network it's connected to).
Network Connections
An easy way of determining what's connected in a network is using a . It will show every component on the network, so if you see stuff you shouldn't or don't see stuff you should, you have a problem.
For example, this is 2 separate networks.
Network 1 Network 2This is also 2 separate networks, because the shares energy without providing a network connection.
Network 1 Network 2However, this is just 1 network, not 2 separate ones. The quantum bridge acts like a wireless dense cable, so both ends are on the same network.
All 1 networkThis is also just 1 network, as cable color has nothing to do with network connections other than cables of different colors not connecting to each other. All colors connect to fluix (or "uncolored") cables.
All 1 networkLess Intuitive Connections
In this case, this is just 1 network, because the , being a fullblock device, acts like a cable, and the does similar. Thus, the network connection passes through the provider and inscriber.
All 1 networkTo prevent this (useful for many autocrafting setups involving subnetworks), you can right-click the provider with a to make it directional, in which case it will not pass channels through one side.
Network 1 Network 2 Observe how the cable does not connectOther parts that do not provide directional network connections are most subpart devices like ses, ses, and s.
