Something I would like: All connections of a power pole to other power poles should be showed if we hover over them with the cursor, the same way it is done for the roboports, but maybe with smaller lines. It's hard to see every connection, especially on a busy factory or on sandy background. It would also be good if the other power poles would be highlighted like it is already done for energy consumers with the blue rectangles around them.

This is something which bugs me, too.

I would like to see all wires,when I place poles. In different colors, if they are in different electric networks. And the power statisfaction.

What if when hovering over the lines "glowed" the same blue as the boxes indicating what they are powering. Each cable attached to the pole would highlight with said bold blue lines.

Erm. I would like to see it also unpowered.

In both states (powered/unpowered) like when you are placing power poles it will highlight what buildings will be powered and what lines will be connecting in the blue highlighing

Yeah Night_Ange1, that's what I wanted to say with my last sentence. Maybe it was not really clear.


ssilk's idea is not bad, but it would take much more work than "just" showing the connected power poles with lines. The devs have to decide if it's worth it.
