/**
 * TileEntities can implement the {@link li.cil.oc.api.network.SidedEnvironment}
 * interface to allow them to interact with the component network, by providing
 * a separate {@link li.cil.oc.api.network.Node} for each block face, and
 * connecting it to said network. This allows more control over connectivity
 * than the simple {@link li.cil.oc.api.network.Environment}.
 * <p/>
 * Nodes in such a network can communicate with each other, or just use the
 * network as an index structure to find other nodes connected to them.

     *       // If you do not need energy remove this call.
     *       .withConnector()

     *       // can mark methods in it using the {@link li.cil.oc.api.machine.Callback}
     *       // annotation, making them callable from user code. The first
     *       // parameter is the name by which the component will be known in
     *       // the computer, in this case it could be accessed as
     *       // <tt>component.example</tt>. The second parameter is the
     *       // component's visibility. This is like the node's reachability,
     *       // but only applies to computers. For example, network cards can
     *       // only be <em>seen</em> by the computer they're installed in, but
     *       // can be <em>reached</em> by all other network cards in the same
     *       // network. If you do not need callbacks remove this call.
     *       .withComponent("example", Visibility.Neighbors)
