Free cables/wires (Poles contain all)

Re: Free cables/wires (Poles contain all) ☸
There should probably be an unlimited use tool for managing wire. Bots can already blueprint down wire layouts for FREE, so why can't we?
Re: Free cables/wires (Poles contain all) ☸
I also agree.
The pickaxe has been removed from the game, because it was a nuisance with little gameplay value. This should also be done for power wires, for the same reason.

Re-edited :
I was surprised to see red and green wire for free on BP, my suggestion is the wires (classic cable and logic ones) could be a research to finally have it for free in the user UI, with some additionnal tools like the mod making a clean rectangular wiring when its possible to do that after a Bp set up.
I know a mod do that, but the point is to add very usefull feature in the classic game to a friendly player experience : i can take exemple on WoW with add-on like item rack, quest helper,finally add in the game because most of player was using it.

I agree wires shouldn't cost or even be items - I suggest we make them a tool like copy, cut & paste

Maybe it could be a toolbar shortcut.ssilk wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2015 10:00 amThat was a good explanation: a tool like the axes. That would make wires/cable nearly free. Much cheaper than now, but you need eventually to research it, and you need to craft it. Both takes some time, which I see as questionable, cause where is the "game" in doing that?
I won't say this is useless, maybe it makes more sense, when we can use this tool for much more, like repair, or other stuff, we don't know yet? in that case I would say ok, good idea. For several reason I find the first suggestion (free cables/wires) quite matching into this. I would say this is also the finished suggestion: both ways are useful, they express the need for removing the need to craft wires/cables, there is currently no game-sense behind it. Let the devs decide...

This seems pretty universally liked.

This mod behaves exactly as I would like to have it:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/WireShortcuts
You can choose the right wire-tool (red, green, copper) by key or shortcut. Not possible to make it simpler.

Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Yes, I think this should be in vanilla too.

+1 - I always run with this mod enabled and it's weird if I ever forget it and suddenly have to make wires again.
Re: Free cables/wires (Poles contain all) ☸
One more argument I found yesterday for that is this:
In the edit-mode, there is no wires. I was a bit astonished. Perhaps I overlooked something. But it seems to be impossible to make some combinator setups in the edit-mode without using mods.
