Roboport power line

Post by MrDrummer »

After getting frustrated with the fact you have to place a large power line in between vanilla roboports, I had an idea:

Either increase the reaching distance of the power line to stretch full from roboport to roboport, or even make the roboport a power line too: so you do not need to power it with another powerline, you can simply place roboports down like usual, without the hassle.

I would attempt to make this mod myself, but i have no clue where to start.

Let me know if you think this idea is good :)

I'm pretty sure that there's mods that have power poles that stretch the distance between roboports. I think I've played with one,but never really used it.
