I can also reproduce this by trying to force-replace a medium electric pole next to a rail line, after moving the signal in my hand next to another rail at a different angle. (I'm doing this using remote view.)

As a big fan of Rail World map, I'd strongly agree with OP.
After a mine depletion,
- I just want to:
get my electric mining drills, furnaces, railways back for further use
- I don't want to:
cut trousands of trees with the railway together
get fishes in the water with the railway together

Here is the fixed 3 way intersection for placing `Big electric pole` in the center and better rail signals placement, like `3 vie design 4 `

... expanding construction network you ultimately need nothing more than electric poles and roboports outside your "mall" area.

Sadly no, ghost's can't be hit by lightning or frozen.

Yup, much easier than my ctrl-shift-f stupidity, just plop something down and check for the icon: (Assuming you don't put it down within range of a lightning rod or heat pipe).

... wiki to play a game. To avoid spoilers I didn't read those wikis / fffs until solar edge.


I guess the in-game source would be that if you build rails between islands and route trains between them, you don't see the little "subject to lightning" icon that you see on other things. But that's easy ...
