About The Pull Request
Alright, I think we all know what smart cables are, however, for those who may not know here's a brief explanation. Smart Cables are used primarily by TG servers such as main TG, Skyrat, and TGMC due to the extent of how burdensome "Regular Cables" can be, so instead of placing two wires to create a single tile of wiring, you just need to place one wire down now and it can link to any nearby cabling, automatically connecting and creating a electrical grid with ease. This also will hopefully help with some of the performance issues on the server due to the amount of cables present connecting all systems.
Side Note: There will need to be a few tweaks to maps in the future as I don't believe I was able to remove all the duplicate wires spread through out the maps due to the sheer size. If you see some misplaced wires please leave a report in the issues tab on discord.
Why It's Good For The Game
Cleans up the wire count for the server, reduces lag, and provides a simpler method of wiring for both crew/mappers.
