Networks cannot contain any cycles. All networks should be defined as a tree. If the network is not structured as a tree, network generation and other calculations may have unexpected results.
Net nodes may connect to one or more net lines, but load nodes must connect to exactly one.
Behavior is undefined if buildings linked to a network are altered during a session. Avoid demolishing, upgrading, selling, or changing these buildings when using network functionality.
