** Right Click on the node at one end of link, and choose "Create Link". Click on the node on the other end of the link. Notice that as you stretch the link to the destination, it will tell you the length and how much CPU and Powergrid it will cost. Keep an eye on the progress of using up your CPU and powergrid.

* Place Launch Pad

** You can create a route using up to 8 intermediate nodes, so you can save link costs by connecting far away nodes to the next closest node, and linking that node to the next closest, etc. until you have it connected to where you are trying to get to.
