Any way to remove a red/green cable?

We are aware of them, but they have low priority. We have more important things to do. They go here in order not to take space in the main bug thread list.

Any way to remove a red/green cable?

Post by arl85 »

as title says, is there any way to remove a green or red cable after placing them?
I tried with "shift+click" on pole base but it only removed copper cable. The other solution is removing the complete pole

I think I should move this to bugs, cause it is really no other way... other opinions?

It works for me in 0.10.8, with shift+left click.

Another problem though, is you don't get the red/green cable back. It makes sense to lose copper cable, but not the red/green cable. So maybe that is a bug.

Edit: Nevermind, it works when it is pole to pole but not pole to chest, pole to inserter etc. So yes, two bugs I think. :P

Yeah, you can remove but don't get the stuff back. Though this is a minor issue for now.
