Hey, remember FFF-210?

To prevent this from happening, I took a pixel grid in Blender and I tried to always have the connectors far away from each other to prevent this from happening. The same issue happens with combinators, but let’s see if we ever have time to change that.

Well, combinators still have this issue today. Annoyingly, combinators in particular would benefit from improved wire clarity, as we do tend to place them adjacent to each other a lot, and seeing exactly what is connected to what is paramount to how we interact with these entities.

I see the new display panels are slightly better than other combinators, but even they could use another pixel or two of offset in my opinion.

For horizontal combinators it looks better now (2.0.67), but the Vertical orientation still leaves something to be desired:
