How do conduits work?
1x1 items that get stronger the more same-type modules connect to them through ports.
You'll need
- Place the conduit on a free cell. It's a core item, so it needs no hardpoint.
- Fit modules of the conduit's type with a port pointing at its cell. Each one counts as a connection.
- 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.
