Power Poles should show Circuit Network ID

Post by JackTheSpades »

Any device (inserter, assembler, belt, etc) connected a circuit network will show what ID they are connected to... except power poles.
If you are trying to make a compact setup with wires going to and fro it would be nice to know what network a power pole is actually connected to.
Or more like, is there a real reason not to show it? Is the code not fit to handle it?

So apparently, the forum gives different results when you search "power poles netowrk" vs "power pole network" with the former yielding way more results, since apparently the search uses exact words and not just "contains" matches.
Fair enough, my fault.
