Cable Tunnel
Allows you to pass a cable through a wall. Each input will forward the amount it receives to the corresponding output on the other side.
The Cable Tunnel is an electrical device in Rust that draws 1 rW of power while it runs. It has 4 inputs and 4 outputs to connect, and 100 health once placed. It cannot be crafted.
About the Cable Tunnel
Of everything on its raid list, the Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo costs the least sulfur: 31 of them destroy it for 775 sulfur in all.
How much power the Cable Tunnel uses
At full output, one generator runs this many of them at once: 20 on a Large Solar Panel, 30 on a Water Wheel, 40 on a Small Generator and 150 on a Wind Turbine. A fully charged battery keeps one running for 6.7 hours on a Small Rechargeable Battery, 6.3 days on a Medium Rechargeable Battery and 16.7 days on a Large Rechargeable Battery.
Reduction is how much of that damage type never lands. Damage taken is the rest: at 50% reduction a hit for 100 does 50. A negative reduction means the hit lands harder than it would bare.
