[15.39] Placing Burner inserter shows powered area

[darkfrei]

Hi all! Why by placing of burner inserters we are see energy area of power poles?

Even if this was newly considered a bug, I would ask that it be reclassified as a feature.

When people place burner inserters, they often upgrade them to powered inserters. Seeing the power grid/layout is crucial for ease of setup for subsequent upgrades, otherwise the layout may have to be completely redesigned.

But you can see the range when you upgrade them. Also, I would say that very few people do that - most people either use extremely few, even none, for a few minutes early on, or are committed to use them somewhere for a long period of time. Rarely, if ever, do I place burner inserters with plans to upgrade, with very infrequent exclusions for a few minutes around the time when I get power.

it's also nice to see where power isn't when placing burner inserters.

Thanks for the report.
However we consider it feature for reason mentioned by Jon8RFC and impetus maximus.
