ME Beam Former

The ME Beam Former is a device that creates a beam between two points to connect networks over empty space or transparent blocks. You'll need two devices to set up a link.

The beam updates in real-time based on changes to the blocks along its path. If a non-transparent block gets in the way, the connection breaks. This makes it useful not only for linking networks together, but also for detecting arbitrary block updates if necessary.

The beam's color matches the cable color of the Beam Former it originates from. If the two devices have different cable colors, the color of the first activated Beam Former takes precedence.

The maximum distance the beam can cover is 32 blocks, or 34 blocks if you include the Beam Formers themselves.
