## Properties

### position :: MapPosition

The location of the heat pipe connection, relative to the center of the entity in the north-facing direction.

### direction :: defines.direction

The "outward" direction of this heat connection. For a connection to succeed, the other heat connection must face the opposite direction (a south-facing connection needs a north-facing connection to succeed). A connection rotates with the entity.
