[0.17.49] Wires don't replenish automatically in editor mode

Post by Allaizn »

All items in editor mode replenish automatically after you use the last one in your inventory. Red & green circuit wire and copper cables do not do that if you use them to connect two unconnected things.
How to reproduce:
- start a new game
- type /editor
- give yourself two power poles and 1 of each wire
- place the poles and disconnect them via shift click
- connect both poles using your cables
- note that none of them replenish

What should happen:
- you should automatically get a new 200 stack injected into your inventory, and it should keep the current "connecting mode", i.e. after connecting once you don't need to click the thing you just connected to to start a new connection, since it auto starts. I'd expect the auto-connection-starting to keep working even if my wire stack depletes

Can we verify this with copper cables as well please?

Thanks for the report however that's not a bug. There's nothing that says items should automatically replenish while in the editor mode.

I could add a setting to do this in the future but as it is it's not a bug.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
