Why don't solar panels and accumulators bring up the Electric graph?

Post by Locane »

Our space stations have electric distribution built in to the platform, is there some reason I can't click on the solar panels / accumulators to see what the power requirements / usage is like?

This is a suggestion and not a bug report.

Beyond that, there's the issue that they can be in multiple electric networks, or none, so how could the game know which one you want? You'd need a new dialog to choose between them, and that seems too much dev time spent on something that saves a second or two finding a nearby pole, which is then unambiguous.
