Wire cutters

Post by sarge945 »

In much the same way that we can use "empty module slot" to remove modules, it would be nice if there was a "cut green wires", "cut red wires" and "cut green and red wires" filters.

Sometimes I want to completely redo a circuit and cutting everything manually is tedious.

Additionally, a "cut power lines" filter could also be useful for certain niche uses.

I like this suggestion, it would be so handy in cases to have a decon planner that remove every wires instead of having to filter (all) the entities connected.

Would love to have this. An unfiltered version that removed all red and green wires as a separate tool was part of the Wire Shortcuts mod that is now otherwise obsolete.

This would be more targeted than the existing shift-click to remove ALL wires from a pole.

If its being added it should be a little more granular!
  • "Wire Cut"
  • "Basic Wire"
  • "Green Wire"
  • "Red Wire"
This would let you do much more with wire changing:
  • (green > red) Convert my green wire circuit to entirely red wire
  • (red > cut) remove just the red wires
  • (copper > cut) remove my power wires
  • (red>green, green>red) swap the green and red wires
And I assume (cut > wire) would be added as an impossibility? or would simply do nothing
