In the following article instead of always write cables (electric network) and wires (circuits) I always write just wire but I mean both.
Handling around with wires is currently
- not very comfortable,
- not intuitive (to delete a wire you need to connect the same wire, see https://wiki.factorio.com/index.php?tit ... _structure ),
- unfair, cause you don't get the erased wires back,
- not very logical, cause when you place poles the wires are free,
- and from the gameplay questionable, cause there is no game-value in creating wires just to place them.
So there are some suggestions about making the wires free.
