Re: Signal Poles for signal-only transmission
This is actually quite an easy thing to mod. I've thought about doing it myself but haven't got around to it.
All you need is to create new poles, that's actually chests internally with a capacity of zero. They allow circuit wire connections, and won't spam anything on the circuit wires themselves. And then you simply make it look like a tiny pole or something.
Would be a tinnny but useful mod. Maybe it even exists already.

Done, you can find it here. It would have been a lot faster if I took stringweasel at his word and didn't try the wall prototype first.

Nice! Another option would have been Constant Combinators, but if you click on them the GUI isn't as nice. Not sure what the UPS difference is between them.

Re: Signal Poles for signal-only transmission
I considered that but opted to skip it since they take an energy source of some kind, even void, and I didn't want to spend time testing if that did any checks. If anyone knows what kind of effect void sources have for electric logic (i.e if they end up in their own sub network or something) I would be interested to hear.Stringweasel wrote: ↑Wed Feb 08, 2023 7:15 amNice!
