Mostly the data nodes and the way data terminals work, players (including myself) often fail to correctly install a knot under our data terminals and powernetid information diagnoses this.
Separately some devices like the PR6 radio/telepads don't like to connect every time you place them and the powernetid helps reveal things like this
My same reasoning for wanting the original basically: network functionality is so deep that we might as well be maintaining real networks
The workflow is like this- create test network with PR6 radio
- try to ping it
- it's not there?
- jab with multitool that just complains there's no power
- rip up the radio, put it back down
- still not there
- rip off the radio again, adjust the cables
- install radio
- finally appears in ping
If I had a Powernet ID I'd see it's unchanged when I removed the radio and I'd fix my cables
