Mechanisms

Mechanisms are items which can be activated or activate other mechanisms that are connected to them with wire. Whenever any of these items are held, all wires, Actuators, and other usually invisible wire-related objects are visible, similar to the effect of the Mechanical Lens(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).
