== Basic Usage ==

The most basic use of the socket is to mount [[Modular_displays|display devices]] or [[buttons]]. By using the 'Seperate end placement' option single sockets can be placed, then moved around and bolted into place.

== Advanced Uses ==

Sockets have a number of non-intended uses that can be very useful.

=== Cablepipes ===

The intended use of sockets was originally to pass pipe and cable connections through plates or other solid objects, since normal pipes and cables can also be placed straight through objects this use of sockets is not required. However the cables created by placing both ends of a socket are actually capable of transfering all resource types transferable by both cable '''and''' pipe! After creation, the sockets themselves can be removed if needed.

=== Scaffolding ===

Due to their ability to be removed without disturbing bolts or weld blocks, pass through all other parts and to be precisely placed sockets are ideal for use as scaffolding for extending bolts, or forcing them to lengths they otherwise would not reach, and for placing bolts/welds in places that would otherwise be impossible.

=== Snapping ===

A socket has 2cm and 24cm snapping points while being able to pass right through other objects, this makes sockets very useful for snapping other objects into place.
