Network Chip
The Network Chip is used to create and manipulate networks. To add an Energy Receiver to a network, use it with the Network Chip. To add an Energy Provider to a network, use it with the Network Chip, the Network Chip will be removed from your inventory. If a block is both an Energy Receiver and an Energy Provider, use it while sneaking to add it as an Energy Receiver to the network, and use it to add it as an Energy Provider to the network. To duplicate a Network Chip combine it with a Circuit Board in a crafting area.
