Plasma Tank
Wave Plasma can be kept in bulk for the lean times. A tank is a hollow box you build from three blocks.
Building it
Tank Casing on every edge.
Tank Glass or casing on the faces.
Tank Port wherever a cable should meet it.
Three to twelve blocks a side, with nothing inside. It forms by itself when the last block goes in: a sweep of light runs over it, the casing turns to glass with a lit outline, and the four uprights glow as high as the plasma stands.
Every block of the shell holds 2,500,000 mB.
A tank keeps the powers the plasma carried. Plasma fed in from a totem keeps that totem's Overclock, Output and the rest; the tank remembers how much of what it holds carries each power, and its Output ports pass them on to injectors with every mB they give, totem or no totem, until that plasma is used up.
Ports
A port takes plasma from a run that comes from an interface, and gives plasma to a run that only leads to bases, chargers or other tanks. Point the Wrench at it to set Input or Output only. Each port gives up to 1,000 mB/t.
Seeing it
Right-click any block of the tank: the screen shows the tank in 3D with its plasma at the level it holds, each port with its setting and what passes, and the first few cables out of each port. Jade reads the level on any block.
Breaking and rebuilding
Break one block by accident and the tank goes dormant but keeps its plasma: put the block back and it is whole again. Rebuild it smaller and it keeps what fits; bigger and it keeps what it had. Take the last block away and the plasma is gone.
