We need a Steel Platform variant of the ECU that DOES have inputs!
Use cases:
- Near my base is a nice little mountain, making for an ideal site (if only for aesthetic reasons) to set up an antenna, or a missile defense system. But for work safety, I want to mount it on a steel platform with railings, so that I don't accidently drop to a near-death experience. Caveat: But there's not enough room on the little mountain to also install a power source (or I may not want to put one there for aesthetic reasons), and I instead want to draw power from a a separate site via cable.
- I want to set up an oxygen & methane production site atop a water source, and set it up on a Steel Platform for ease of water / oxygen / methane distribution; but for one reason or another I want to generate the power for the Sabatier Reactors elsewhere. For example, I might want to have a central power supply situated elsewhere; moreover, the oxygen & methane production should have lower priority than other electricity consumers supplied from the same power source.
- I want to set up a couple of power generation sites scattered across a large-ish area; for ease of power distribution within each site, I want each site to be built on a Steel Platform; the sites should all link to a single battery, but for aesthetic reasons I want to mount that battery on a Steel Platform as well, or maybe integrate it into one of the power generation sites. But for some reason (aesthetics, material costs, or to avoid interference with vehicle routes or base buildungs) the sites can't all be linked up into one single Steel Platform grid, and therefore need to be connected with wires.
