Circuit network - one or two questions.

Don't know how to use a machine? Looking for efficient setups? Stuck in a mission?

Circuit network - one or two questions.

Post by Shaunri »

Yep. I just love circuit networks. There is just so much stuff you can do with it. It's just lovely.

But it has a few problems for me.

First thing - can i "un-attach" a red or green wire from a pole without destroying a pole? Sometimes i have a pole which has red wires already connected to it, and by mistake i put a green wire there. I have to destroy a whole pole and then reconnect red wiring, because it gets destroyed in the process. That takes a lot of time, because my circuit networks tend to be.... Complicated :) Is there a way to make my life easier?

Second thing. I have like a lot of different circuits in my base, which do a lot of different things, often with same materials, so they cant overlap. Because of that making changes in my base needs to be really precise, because i can't just destroy every pole i want. One break in one circuit may be really hard to find later on. And this gets really hard, as wire-pole-chest-inserter connections are like really hard to see. Is there any way to make them more visible? Like some "special view" which would show my circuits or something? Or do i just have to take a "reallly close look" at my poles and slowly decide which one i can and can destroy by calculating their circuits and slowly looking over the connections?

Thanks for help :)

There is a hotkey with that you can disconnect all wires.
2. Question not yet.
Why you don't use a logistic network for the maximum prodution values?

I think i just like creating logic gates, circuit splitters and such. Compared to this logistic network seems like a cheat ;)

But yea, if there is no way to easily keep track of my circuits i will be probably switching to logistic networks, as it's almost impossible to keep circuit networks in line in a big factory. Sad as it is, i have to say.

Thanks for the answers :)

I just want to add that improvements are planned for the circuit network for 0.12 (See the roadmap or recent FFF posts)
