Hello all,

i have read on the wiki that there is a shortcut to place wires fast by clicking a shortcut and than just click on the target instead of clicking the pole first to place the wire, but i cant find the entry again.

Has someone a tip for me ?

Thank you.

There is currently no hotkey especially for that.
What can be done is to reserve a stack of green and red cables in the quickbar. By clicking middle-mouse on them you can use that feature. Afterwards you can quickly change the stack you have in hand by pressing 1-5 for the left side of the quickbar and shift-1-5 for the right.

Hi,

I just found what i mean:

Shift+RMB on your connected inserter/Chest and then Shift + LMB to copy it.

I think i just asked my question a bit misleading

Create blueprint with green and red wires.
Use this blueprint.
Wires will be placed even if you do not have them.
