Visualization of broken wires when moving

Post by Viidi »

Recently added a cool feature that allows you to keep the wire connection during the Cut-Move-Paste operation.
If you Paste too far, the wires break. And sometimes it's hard to keep track of this.
I'd like to add some kind of visual that will show which wires will break when moving.

+1 to this. It's really a pain to deal with when trying to rearrange large groups of combinators to figure out whether you've broken one of many wires. The mod that preserved wires in 1.1 https://mods.factorio.com/mod/reconnect-cut-wires made pasting fail if it would break a wire connection, maybe it could fail with flying text on left click but succeed on force build or something?
