/**
* This class provides factories for networks and nodes.
* <p/>
* The first two functions provided provided by this API are to allow existing
* environments - implemented in a tile entity for example - to join an existing
* network or create new ones. The third one is used to create nodes that may
* then be connected to an existing network. It is not possible to create
* networks that do not belong to at least one tile entity or node.
* <p/>
* It is important to understand that component networks only exist on the
* server side. It is impossible to create nodes, and therefore networks, on
* the client side. This is to enforce a clear distinction of where the actual
* logic lies - since user code only runs on the server.
* <p/>
* Note that these methods should <em>not</em> be called in the pre-init phase,
* since the {@link li.cil.oc.api.API#network} may not have been initialized
* at that time. Only start calling these methods in the init phase or later.
