If a building is not connected to electricity, it shows a yellow symbol.

It would be useful if poles did this too. Reason: Sometimes I make a long line of poles from my camp to an enemy camp to put laser turrets there.

If one pole happens to be accidently not connected, you don't see it due to no alert symbols on the next poles. And if you then arrive at the enemy camp and place your laser turrets, you're going to have a bad time...

Thanks!

Nice idea. It doesn't happen often, but if neither a load or energy producer is attached to the pole's network, it could signalise it isn't attached to anything.

Just a little quality of life improvement.

Yeah totally, that way you can see where what you thought to be a single power network is split after a major redesign of your base.

I'd really like to see this implemented, too. It would make identifying where a long line of power lines has been broken by some object much, much easier.

Well.. I tend to have lights everywhere, so
i guess there would be enough warning symbols for me to figure it out.
