Let us connect wires directly to space platform

TL;DR

Let us connect wires directly to space platform foundations to make extend wiring

What?

I think it would be great if we could connect red and green wires straight to the space platform foundation. This would let us create longer wire connections without needing workaround intermediate links using other objects which could be confusing. Regularly we use power poles for this but on the space platform, they are not needed and look out of place. I propose a small connector object to be created at the place of the connection to the foundation for it to act like a tiny power pole but without a pole itself. Note that connecting to the platform shouldn't connect to the hub, for this the hub must be connected directly.

Why?

This would:

• Make space platform builds look nicer without unnecessary power poles.
• Make wiring space platforms easier, especially for big and complicated setups.
• Reduce confusion when sharing blueprints or coming back to old saves.
