Hi,
I noticed that I can click a power switch in mapview and interact with it (change the options)
This is not possible for other circuit connected items (Constant combinators, inserters etc). This seems somewhat inconsistent.
This in in the latest expirimental (0.16.50)

Technically speaking, it's consistent with electric-network-connected items (read: power poles), but I agree that it's probably unintentional that you can actually change settings (power poles I know allow you to check the network stats; another possible oversight might be a shift-click to clear all connections, but that would be a separate bug if it is even the case).

Thanks for the report however that's intended. It was done in 0.16.0.

Thank you for the reply.
Out of curiosity, would you care to share the philosophy behind that change?

It makes the power switch useful because you can toggle it from anywhere on the map provided it has radar coverage.VonFlaffenhausen wrote:Thank you for the reply.

Thanks again for your reply.
Valid point. It is indeed useful. What makes the powerswitch different from a constant combinator though? Why the one and not the other?
Kind regards,

Because that's what was decided. The same reason you can configure trains from anywhere on the map.VonFlaffenhausen wrote:Thanks again for your reply.
