TL;DR

What ?

If the machine can be powered directly by wires,we can build a screen by the lamp.

Why ?

Providing power over wires is more realistic and more convenient for players. After this modification, players can use poles and wires to supply power, and can design the factory structure more freely.There isn't much change in terms of difficulty, as the player needs to manually connect the wires to the device. And it can be balanced by limiting the power of the wire.

Welcome on factorio forums.

Circuit wires are meant to carry information, only copper cables are meant to carry power. Since lamps do not have copper wire connectors this is not going to happen.

I use circuit wires to represent copper wires,i hope to add copper wire connector so all the device can be powered by wire.
