make an isolated object to become connected

Post by TelemakFactorio »

Would it be technically possible to make a mod to get a signal from an existing object that has none ?
So the player can conncect a cable to this object to get a value.

My idea to illustrate this is to get the luminosity from a solar panel.

Please don't answer me "you can use accumulators or a chest ingame", I want to mod it.
