Ability to move combinator with wires still attached

[CzBuCHi]

As title says ...

it would ease some headache when trying to fit some crazy combinator contraption into tight place

PS: maybe include all things, that can be connected with wires?

Just blueprint copypaste it someplace else, it'll include the wires. Bots attach them for free.

Yep. It doesn't make much sense, but bots give wiring for free.

If the game had hot tips this would be one of them.

how would that help if you want to move just one combinator?

One problem with moving combinators with wires attached is that all attached wires have a maximum length. This length could be exceeded for one of the wires after moving.

oh .. i didnt see that thread .... .... but it is basically same thing - i have combinators contraption, that is intentionally spaced out (to see wires) but in "production" i wanna to make it as compact as possible - blueprints wont help much ....


and to wires: it could work simillar to blueprint attaching copper wires to existing poles and if distance is too far, then behave as blueprint placing on existing entity ...

This tool can move almost all entities, but I don't know how it works with combinators.
