I just miss a bulk wire remove method. See https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=46960 Add Green and Red wire to the Deconstruction Planner On the other side I wish a more clear, more intuitive circuit/wire construction method in general, which would make parts of this suggestion obsol...

Well, mrvn, I think you cannot convince me, that there is a big need for placing wires over long distances, when there would be some “wireless wires” :) and free cables/wires as a tool. Long distance: longer than maybe 5 to 10 poles. With the combination of these two mods I mentioned it makes no sen...

@mrvn: click&drag: how would you connect one part with another, 1000 tiles away? I don’t think that’s practical and dangerous if there is already such a route in between, that you would accidentally connect. You start at one end where a power pole has red/green wires. Click and hold and then ru...

You can choose the right wire-tool (red, green, copper) by key or shortcut. Not possible to make it simpler.

I think combinators are a powerful, deep addition to Factorio that have ignored for a very long; it's time for some love. Also it would be incredible if there was a combinator that used the red and green wires as separate operands, red divided by green or red % green, could you imagine the possibil...
