My vending machine is outside but the generator is inside. Can power be transferred through a wall?

[Outlier]

I want to set up a vending machine outside my camp building but I don't want to leave the generator out there. Is it possible to power up the outside vending machine with a generator that's inside the building? In other words, can you transfer power through a wall? If so, how?

I saw on YouTube a person who powered up his neon letters with a power pylon that was inside his house. He placed it inside but the letters were outside. So the pylon was basically providing power through a wall. Can this be done with a vending machine?

Vending machines must have a power line run to them. There are power conduit plans that let you run through the wall. But they're pricey and you've got to find them. What you can do is put a window in the wall and run the wires through it. Not pretty but it works.

[edit]
Unpowered vending machines will still sell stuff. The power just advertises it on the map.

If you take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zRf6dhTGHo the guy is powering his neon lights through a wall. He's just using a pylon to do it. Is it possible to power a vending machine the same kind of way?

Neon Light use the radiant part of power form any nearby connectors.

The robot vendor in Watoga or Harpers ferry sells a wall conduit that goes through walls.

Nope, been there forever. It’s part of the advanced power connectors plan.

Yeah, it aint new, hell it aint even useful. Should have known when he said conduit and not connectors.
