NetworkType

A [Flags]-attributed enum that defines the types of networks a connector can carry.

Enum Values

From Assembly-CSharp.dll, lines 293196-293211:

[Flags]
public enum NetworkType
{
    None = 0,
    Pipe = 1,
    Power = 2,
    Data = 4,
    Chute = 8,
    Elevator = 0x10,
    PipeLiquid = 0x20,
    LandingPad = 0x40,
    LaunchPad = 0x80,
    RoboticArmRail = 0x100,
    PowerAndData = 6,
    All = int.MaxValue
}

Value reference:

Member	Value	Hex	Notes
None	0	0x0	No network
Pipe	1	0x1	Gas pipe network
Power	2	0x2	Electrical power network
Data	4	0x4	Data/logic network (IC10, sensors, etc.)
Chute	8	0x8	Item transport chute network
Elevator	16	0x10	Vertical elevator network
PipeLiquid	32	0x20	Liquid pipe network
LandingPad	64	0x40	Landing pad (atmos exchange) network
LaunchPad	128	0x80	Launch pad network
RoboticArmRail	256	0x100	Robotic arm rail network
PowerAndData	6	0x6	Composite: Power (2) | Data (4)
All	2147483647	int.MaxValue	Matches all networks

Key Semantics

[Flags] attribute: NetworkType is a flags enum. A single connector can carry multiple network types simultaneously via bitwise OR. For example, PowerAndData = 6 = Power | Data.

Data networks: Connectors with ConnectionType == NetworkType.Data OR ConnectionType == NetworkType.PowerAndData are data connectors and can carry IC10 signals and sensor data.

Power networks: Connectors with ConnectionType containing the Power bit (2) carry electrical power.

Pipe networks: Connectors with ConnectionType containing the Pipe bit (1) carry gases; those with PipeLiquid (0x20) carry liquids.

Composite values: PowerAndData is the only composite constant defined. It allows a single connector to be used for both power and data simultaneously.

Usage in Connection

Every Connection stores its network type(s) in the ConnectionType field:

public class Connection
{
    public NetworkType ConnectionType = NetworkType.Pipe;
    // ...
}

Default is Pipe. To check if a connector carries data:

if ((connection.ConnectionType & NetworkType.Data) != NetworkType.None)
{
    // Connector carries data
}

Or use the explicit two-value check (from Device.DataConnection):

if (connection.ConnectionType == NetworkType.Data || connection.ConnectionType == NetworkType.PowerAndData)
{
    // Connector is a data connector
}
