You've added a number of dragging features, but you still need to install circuits by clicking each item. This is especially long-winded is stretching circuits across a long line of poles to reach from one side of a factory to another.
Could you introduce circuit dragging (at least for power poles) ?

Copy paste includes circuit wire. But fog is annoying though.

copy paste is fine for the subsequent copies but the first one would be nice to click drag.

Devil's advocate: clumsy user might accidentally connect unintended entities in concentrated areas.

actual devil's advocate:

Good.

There is definitely some kind of radio transmission of signals over long distances needed. I still like how it is done in https://mods.factorio.com/mod/shortwave
(But it’s buggy when used with blueprints). But there are lots of others.
