Electricity continuation

I was thinking with the multitude of space costing poles everywhere. Wouldn't it be more realistic to have every electricity requiring device/building function as a power pole with a grid of 1 surrounding it. To allow electricity to continue from one device to the next.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. From what I'm reading though this allows a lot more than what I was looking for, I don't think power poles should be done away with nearly completely, just that it's more reasonable for devices directly adjacent to one another would be able to connect through those.

The mod doesn't remove power poles, you'd still need them over any distance more than a single poles length away. The machines just connect to anything nearby like a normal power pole would
