Insulated Copper Wiring
Copper wiring in a protective shell to avoid any electrical accidents.
Notes
Insulated Copper Wiring is a protective electrical component used to safely transmit power in advanced builds. It is crafted at a suitable station and serves as an ingredient in electronic circuits (Advanced Circuit, Etched Advanced Circuit), mining tools (Blasting Cap), and vehicle upgrades like the Industrial Elevator and various truck attachments. Because it feeds into so many mid-to-late-game recipes, ensuring a steady supply through trade or personal production helps keep construction and industry moving.
