This mod adds technology that will unlock progressively better versions of the copper crafting recipe: upgrading from 2 to 3, then 4, 5, and finally 8 copper cables per copper plate.

This mod also adds a way to convert between red and green circuit wires, for those situations when the only wires you have are of the wrong color.

Productivity Modules will work with these advanced crafting recipes EXCEPT the last one (8 cables per plate), which is too awesome to be productivitified.

Assembly machines require manual software updates. You will have to manually set each assembler to use the updated cable-making recipe each time a better tier is unlocked.

When a technology is researched, all of the obsolete recipes are hidden, so you will easily find the best one.

This can be added to an existing game with no problems.

Incompatible with Research queue by Doomquill.
