Here goes first: water pumps don't require any power to work?

If i remove cable from power pole how can i attach cables to it again?

Do power lines have power limit?

Are there some kind of boss type enemies that will come if i pollute too much?

Thanks for helping. :)

To attach exactly one cable, craft one, select it, and click both poles. But you can mine a pole and replace it to reattach all cables for free.

There are tougher enemies, but they will come whether you pollute or not. Polluting will attract more at once.

nope, unlimited. No power loss over long distances either.

there's 3 types, ones that tickle, ones that bite, and then there's the ones that hurt ;)

Colored wires are for setting logistics conditions for the logistics network, not to power machines.

For now, stick with copper cables. The red and green wires are used for a smart logistics network which won't be needed early on. I don't want to confuse you further by explaining how logistics work. But, as I said, copper wiring should be all you need for a good while to power your base.
