How do conduits work?

1x1 items that get stronger the more same-type modules connect to them through ports.

You'll need

  1. Place the conduit on a free cell. It's a core item, so it needs no hardpoint.
  2. Fit modules of the conduit's type with a port pointing at its cell. Each one counts as a connection.
  3. Check the conduit's tooltip: it shows the connections and the effectiveness.

Good to know

  • Strength: 50% with nothing connected. Figures differ on the top end: 200% with four connections, or +50% per connection, so 250% with four.
  • They follow affinity type like modules do.
  • A conduit does not let you place a weapon where it otherwise couldn't go.

Tip

Ports turn with the module, so rotate it (R) to aim a port at the conduit.
