Normal behavior when hovering over rail:
Bad behavior when hovering over pole that is further away:
This happens for all 3 types of power poles.

Re: Power poles display yellow hitbox even though not in range
You cannot mine these poles unless you are truly in range, but you can left click on them and see the network stats (which is nice).
I'm guessing this is a side effect of the range limit to view stats being removed? (I didn't notice anything in the change log, but I assume it was a deliberate tweak?)

Re: Power poles display yellow hitbox even though not in range
Hmm, maybe it would benefit to have a different colour? The yellow makes me think I can mine it and is misleading.sicklag wrote:Changelog 0.16.0: Electric poles and power switches can be opened from the zoomed-to-world view.
If you can do this, that means you can click them while you are not in range?!
EDIT: Yes you can click every pole in your view to check the energy
That's not a bug, that'S a feature

Yellow is "can't mine". Red is colliding and green is mineable.chris13524 wrote:Hmm, maybe it would benefit to have a different colour?

? I get yellow even when I can mine it. I don't see green hitboxes anywhere.Rseding91 wrote:Yellow is "can't mine".

Re: Power poles display yellow hitbox even though not in range
If I'm close enough to a piece of belt or a splitter or a tree or an assembler or some or to mine it I get yellow. Too far away I get red. The only time I remember getting green outline boxes is pumpjacks. Power poles I get yellow even if they are across the mapRseding91 wrote:Yellow is "can't mine".
