Power switches

[J-H]

When I select a copper cable and try to click on a power switch or on an electrical pole, I get some sort of 3-column menu with an overview of my power system. All I want to do is connect the power switch to an electric pole so I can turn on/off my light oil->petroleum cracking plant based on how much light oil is in a storage tank.

What's the new way to connect this?

I think you are refering to a situation caused by the fact that now copper cable for power switch are not the same as the item used for green circuits. It is a shortcut like the green and red wire for circuit network and no longer the physical item. you can access them at any time from the toolbar ( even without copper).

As such attempting to use the item copper cable as it was previously may cause confusion.

Thank you!

Odd to have just 4 items auto-create from the taskbar like that.

I only have red and green cable options to place.
No copper wire connection available to me yet, so I cannot connect a power pole to a power switch.
Anyone know what I must do?

the default shortcut is Alt +C i think, otherwise you'd need to find the icon in a list to add it to the toolbar , from a very tiny icon, on the top right of the toolbar that allow to show a list of shortcut not currently placed in that toolbar.
