Rotate electric pole

Post by CzBuCHi »

So i spend at least half a hour trying to place medium electric pole in a way it would resemble "7" ... but that damm thing always randomly rotate itself when attaching wire to it (and as a result all wires are crossing each other ...)

i know, this is "just" OCD but can we please rotate it manually? - just for our (in)sanity reasons....

Thx

I already expected someone to start a thread about that sooner or later.

You can detatch and manually attach the cables. This means the poles will rotate in a predictable way.

Yes it results in a predictable result, but if OP wants the pole to be rotated in a very specific way independent from how the cables are attached then manually detaching/attaching cables doesn't help at all.

if your OCD is that high, look into bobs mods, bobs power includes upgraded electric poles and stuff, his substations get large enough range that you can put one on each corner of a block and they will connect and overlap, giving you a nice square wire layout.
