No way of daisy chaining power cables for hard drives/ssd???
So i've been bouncing arround trying to build my current in use pc as it is. i've had to sub some parts with alternates due to not being in the game (ssd/video cards) but i chose items with same plugs/power requirements.

i have in my machine running right now: (real life) 3 Sata hdd, 3 Sata SSD, 2x nvme ssd all work. but in game no matter what power supply i choose it does not offer me line splitters to chain some of the drives to gether. heck if i plug in allmost all the drives i run out of ports on the psu and can't plug in the 6 pin on an evga 2070 super.. wth. i know i can run all those drives plus 2x video cards and deliver enough power. this is getting annoying. any fixes on how to daisy chain sata drives power?

Please note that this game is not a full-on simulator that tries to resemble the reality as good as possible. First of all it is a game and its simulation is as good as it gets for gameplay purposes.
There are a lot of options to work with in RL for power delivery like adapter cables, but these were omitted to keep things simple.
Another example woiuld be fan controller hubs. Some cases have them, but you cannot add one manually into cases that come without. You just have to work with the connectors on the motherboard. Some fans can be daisy chained IRL like Arctic's PST variants but I have not tried to test this in the game yet.

You could try the modular power supplies with the highest wattages that can also support the triple 8-pin-PCIe-connectors for two 3090 cards. Perhaps they let you connect all the drives you want to.
