[0.18.26] Power pole wires not visible in map view

Post by n_slash_a »

What did you do?
In the tutorial, map 5, I found the solar farm in the bottom left of the map. I then attached power from my base to it. Then in map view, zoomed out, with "Electrical Network" enabled, I noticed that the existing power lines did not show up, only the ones for the poles I place.

What happened?
The power poles I added were visible, the existing ones were not. The power poles in the main base are show up as expected.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I expected all power lines to be visible. Pretty minor bug, but thought this is the kind of thing you would want fixed.

Some of the power poles here are from force "neutral" to not show on the map. They were made that way so players with enabled preview of electric network in map view will not be hinted about this area without proper scouting or use of radars.

I'm going to say this is not a bug

It doesn't significantly affect things, and the fix would be something very complicated, and simplicity is always better
