Feature Request - option for blueprints to retain electrical

Post by DragonMudd »

I was working on a blueprint to allow me to easily break up sections of my factory with automated power switches, so that if I only need 60% output from a given section, only 60% of the assemblers and beacons would cost power. I realized that while the blueprint was great, when I placed these sections down my electrical poles automatically connected to everything nearby even though the original was disconnected (both internally and externally). It's a little obnoxious having a blueprint that I then have to run through and manually disconnect dozens of electrical connections from. I would love a tickbox that preserves electrical connections within the blueprint and doesn't create any additional ones. I'd much rather have the option to have something that needs one or two wires added instead of 40 wires removed every time I make a new copy.

See viewtopic.php?f=58&t=27456 Power Switch blueprint doesn't remember power line positions

It seems, that the solution is, to place the poles so, that they connect the right way. This is currently not the case.

I somethings is in "Won't fix" it doesn't mean it will not be changed, it is just not a bug.
