Usage
Redstone links transfer redstone signals across long distances, keeping their redstone signal strength. When powered, a sending link causes receiving Redstone Links with matching frequency to emit redstone. The signal strength is kept. Receivers will output the strongest redstone strength received from sending links.
The redstone link has a 'default state' of OFF, and any redstone links that are actively receiving when a world is saved will briefly pulse OFF when the world is loaded again; this can cause unintended behaviors in contraptions that rely upon heavily active links.
Frequency
The frequency can be changed by right clicking the link's slots with an item or block. Assign an item or block to at least one of the two frequency slots, and the redstone link will only send or receive signals to or from links with matching frequency slots.
The link's frequency can also be copied and pasted by right-clicking with a Clipboard.
Sending and Receiving mode
To toggle the redstone link between sending and receiving a signal, sneak and right click it or right click with a Wrench. A receiving redstone link has a signal dish on the antenna.
Range
The Redstone Link has a range of 256 blocks, adjustable in the game Config. It does not require line-of-sight and thus can be placed underground, in a separate structure, etc.

A Linked Controller can be used to activate receiving Redstone Links using player inputs.
Train Schedule
- Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Dev:Hatnote' not found.
Redstone Links can be used as a schedule condition in Train Schedules. The Train network is loaded globally, so activating a loaded Redstone Link can satisfy a Train's schedule condition from anywhere. However, unloaded Redstone Links will not be considered in the schedule condition.
