[2.0.7 + Space Age] Red and green wire before research

Post by MigarisS »

Using quick key combinations you can get your hands on a red or green wire before the technology opens up, same with artillery and spidertron

Thanks for the report. That is intended.

If that's intended, why disable the quick toolbar buttons but still allow the hotkey to work? Low priority but seems inconsistent.

The toolbar button is disabled so that new players are not overwhelmed by the options until they research circuit network. As an experienced player you can use the keybind or the /unlock-shortcut-bar console command to access the wires early.
