Network Selector

Factory gauges need to be tuned to a network before being placed in the controller. The first gauge need to be tuned the usual way (e.g. interacting with a stock link with a gauge in hand). Once a tuned gauge is placed in the controller, its network appears in the network selector.

With an empty cursor, scrolling with mouse wheel selects one of the tuned networks, highlighting all components tuned to that network with a blue outline. The number of components tuned to the network also appears on the network selector icon.

While holding a factory gauge item, scrolling on the network selector changes the network this item is tuned to, allowing you to quickly tune a new gauge to an existing network. Holding shift and scrolling accomplishes the same.
