Report any bugs or issues you have with the mod in this thread or the discussion section of the mod portal.

Use case:
1. Place a bunch of blueprints.
2. Robots place all the electric poles out of order.
3. This causes crossing or other weird patterns.
4. Drag selection tool over area which you want corrected.
5. The tool will do the rest.

KNOWN ISSUES

1. Dragging over multiple electric poles which are aligned within range of each other causes many wires to be created instead of just the nearest neighbours.

PLANNED FEATURES

1. Background cycling through chunks to detect weird wiring. Default off, since it adds UPS requirements, can be turned on in the mod settings at runtime with various tunables.
