Cables and plumbing
Do you find it weird how pawns directly build power cables out of a single piece of steel on the bare ground in under a second ? Do you wish to run a wiring/pipe theft operation? Do you just desire to make your game slightly more complex for masochistic reasons? Well! Look no further!


I offer you Cables and plumbing, inspired by the mountains of utilities sitting in my storage in Prison Architect and my will to make the game slightly more complex. 

Cables and plumbing adds two new items, all in the manufactured category:
- Electrical cables
- Pipes

And that's it!

Electrical cables can be made at the crafting spot, after unlocking electricity, from steel and cloth, and alternatively at the machining table with steel and chemfuel.
Pipes can also be made at the crafting spot from steel, and then at both the machining table and the smithy
Do note that due to improper tools, recipes at the crafting spot are inefficient, and not profitable. I advise you instead to use your trustyworthy machining table.

MOST IMPORTANTLY

Power conduits are PATCHED, and now cost you actual electrical cables! (Who would have thought?)
Same thing for waterproof conduits (except you still need another protective steel layer).

The awesome thing is that other utilities from mods have also been patched!
