Creating Circuit Cables even without resarch

Post by Speiger »

When you ghoest place a blueprint with circuit networking cables and then place the down the powerpoles then the cirucit cables also appear.

I dont know if this was reported already but its very easy to reproduce:

Step 1: Dont have the ciruit network research,
Step 2: Place down a blueprints with at least 2 powerpoles which are connected and have a circuit connection,
Step 3: Place down the powerpoles and the Circuit network cables can appear.

This can be actually an issue, since it allows in certain PVP scenarios advantages and also if the circuit network items are disabled they could be placed down. And since that seems to work with any item that is connected to the circuit network you could use that system even if it was intentioninally disabled.

Thanks for the report however we aren't going to change this.

You get wires for free when you use blueprints.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Well the issue is not that the cables are free, the issue is that you can bypass settings completly.

You will have to disable blueprints to stop it.
