[kovarex] [1.1.1] Power Poles will connect to ghost poles while dragging and interrupt power

Post by AntiElitz »

When dragging power poles on max range, the poles may not connect to each other, but to close ghost poles instead. This will interrupt the power flow on the line that is just being dragged.

The pole might be forced to make the first wire connection to the last pole built by dragging even if it is more distant than other poles, which could probably generate a nicer pole setups in avarage as well.

Changed for the next release. (I don't say fixed, as it is not really a bug, but rather a feature request)

Just to confirm my speculation, if someone drags in straight line around the turrets in the setup above, will the blueprint get connected or not?
