You cannot hook up two different player networks together without public player

[ӔO]

the electrification network could use some work.
I've found that you cannot hook up two different player networks together without a public player intermediate.

Can you elaborate? How does this issue manifest itself?

[ӔO]

the game does not allow you to link the networks up like you can with other ways when permission is set. even if the electrical networks are placed side by side, they don't have a connected image and instead show two terminals.

it's pretty easy to replicate.

plant a coal mine and coal power plant. start a connection from one side with player 1, then start another connection from the other side with player 2, being sure to give permission to each. Then feed coal to the power plant.

The coal mine won't get any electricity unless the public player joins the two electrical networks together.

Ohh, do you mean the power lines as distinct from the road/rail electrification way objects? Or do you mean both?

[ӔO]

yeah, just the powerlines.

This is fixed on the 10.x branch - thank you for the report!
