Post by Helfima »

Hello
when I wanted to replace the small pole, we see the future cable but after putting the cable is missing.

This is not a bug,

The reason is that you can make a custom wire layout using copper cable item,
And if you fast replace it, you generally would want to keep the custom wiring, and not have the game reconnect and mess up your cable, such as to a power switch

I think he's saying that the bug is that on fast-replace the preview shows the cable. Not that the cable isn't placed.

It's not a custom wire layout in the initial situation there are no wire because the distance between the small pole and the pole is too big.
I mean when we replace pole we don't see the futur wrong wire. did you watch my clip? it's certainly more speaking than my English.
