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.
