Wires as items

NBy Natha

The solution for all who don't like the idea of infinite circuit wires. Make them actual items that do not appear out of nowhere! This mod was created back in the days when circuit wires had to be crafted from resources, but disappeared when rewiring.

Description

##You want a new challenge when wiring your circuits? Created back in the days when circuit wires had to be crafted from resources, but disappeared when rewiring, this mod takes a contrary approach by making wires cost resources and being consumed.

  • When mining connected objects (you or a bot), you get back the wires that were connected to it.
  • You will get wires back even if you disconnect entities manually or use Shift-left click to remove wires from electric poles
  • When placing blueprints, bots have to deliver the wires in order to connect to the circuit network.

####The same with copper wires? Yes, it's possible! Just activate it in the settings. When building electric poles, you need to have copper wires in your inventory, otherwise they will be requested from the logistic network.
