Blue highlight on energy providers when hovering on entity

Post by blitz_skull »

Hey guys,

I've searched everywhere and can't find anything about this specific property. I have created a compound entity that uses a solar panel and accumulator to simulate a lamp not need electricity. It's working well, however the last piece that I'd like to implement is I'd like to remove the blue selection box that appears over my invisible power pole when I hover over the lamp so that the entire illusion is seamless and it doesn't appear that the lamp has an invisible power pole directly under it.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You can't do that, sorry. The hardcoded bits of electricity system make many mods look silly,
I do mods. Modding wiki is friend, it teaches how to mod. Api docs is friend too...
I also update mods, some of them even work.
Recently I did a mod tutorial.

Ah, bummer. Are you aware of any long-term plans to allow mods to be "prettier"? I've read through several FFFs, but I haven't seen much by the way of future mod support.
