Is there a way to connect multiple things with out electicity

[MrPanthouse]

So let me give an example if i have multiple train wagons and i want to connect them to my train which has electricity. do i still have to put a battery in each cariage or is the 1 from the train enough? and what/which connector do i use?

You can transfer electricity via electric connections from one to the other. They just need to be wired.

So the second wagon/part doesnt need to be coonected directly to electricity?

Its network does need to be connected to the electric connector so that it can get that electricity. It just doesn't need a separate battery.

If you want a rigid physical connection, electric connectors. If you just want electricity, electric anchors connected by a cable (use the "rope" section of the "logic" view to connect the anchors; when the vehicle is spawned, they'll be connected by a cable).

Connect the connector/anchor on the locomotive to the locomotive's electrical network, connect the connector/anchor on the wagon to the wagon's electrical network. You can also route a single on/off signal or a composite signal between the two in a similar manner (each connector/anchor has an input and an output; what is sent to the input on one appears on the output of the other).

Okay let me be more clear cuz i dont undersdtand it anymore 1 says its possible the other sas its not.

Im building a tower crane.
So i got 1 bottom piece where i have a battery installed.
Then i have unlimited standard pieces that i spawn seperatly which have to be installed on top of the previous 1.
So is it possible to only have 1 battery on the bottom 1 and connect all other parts on top without a battery on it trough the use of an lectrical connector.
So thats what im making and since it has something similar to a train thats why i used that as example.

You could maybe use the electric connectors. On the sections that have no battery, connect the electric connections to the electric connector instead of a battery. That's how I usually do it on train cars.

What? " connect the electric connections to the electric connector" what are electric conections and how do i power it without any electricity

The electricity flows through the connections when they connect, that's what they are for. You can do similar with the electric cable anchors.

yes but you say dont connect it to a battery so how can there be electricty then?
"connect the electric connections to the electric connector instead of a battery."

I dont understand why they took out easy mode this advanced mode is to difficult for me.

"Electric connections" are what show up when you select the "logic" view, then "electric" view.

"Electric connectors" are blocks that connect objects together and pass electricity. Cargo containers have one on each corner.

On the object which has a battery, connect the battery to the connector. On the object which doesn't have a battery, connect things which need electricity to the connector. When the objects are placed close together, the connectors will lock together and electricity will pass through them.

Okay now i get it ill try it when im able to place an part on top of the other i still need to make the construction which moves upwards and places a new part on top of the other. but atleast i can now build those standard parts.
