I tried to connect something with a red wire from a legendary substation to a chest, but the wire won't reach.

I think this is a bug, why would the circuit wire be restricted to the same as normal substations, but not copper wire reach to connect power?

I guess quality small, medium and big poles are also affected by this, but I don't have some handy to test right now.

Thanks for the report. Wire reach from pole to entity is decided by the min(pole-distance, entity-distance)

I'm not sure I understand.

Does that mean it's intended that entities between two legendary substations can not be connected to either one by circuit wire?

I’m not great at math (even though I work as a programmer), but maybe a suggestion would be:

Code: Select all

min(pole_distance, entity_distance + (pole_distance % quality_normal_pole_distance))
