[0.14.21 Steam] Copper Cable Doesn't Stay Removed

Post by CognizantErk »

In order to control a power pole via a power switch I use [Shift + Left Click] to remove all wires to a power pole. I then connect the power pole in question to a power switch and the power switch to a separate power pole with copper cable.

This all operates correctly.

However, When I load a save, the power poles connect to each other again. The connection to the power switch remains but is basically shorted out and useless.

I am assuming that the copper cable connections between power poles are regenerated every time a game is loaded, however if that is the case, how can I make it so that my power switches continue to operate from a saved game?

Power lines are not re-connected when loading the game. You're either building additional lines by the poles or have some mod that's broken.
