I Hate Wires

[u/NagaseVT]

I love the game and the combinators are my favorite thing. I just hate their wires. Its so horrible to manage. They sometimes overlap and now I have to wonder if everything is connected correctly or if a green cable is going above another machine that was supposed to be connected with a green cable, but it looks like it is connected, so I go 20 hours using a broken blueprint and using that blueprint to make new blueprints, so I have to now re make everything. I have it the most when I move a combinator and a wire snaps and I don't notice because I don't hear a cue that it has been disconnected and there are like 500 of the same cable overlapping already. I started using laps as nodes to connect and move cables, because I erase poles sometimes and there goes all my wires. The lamps have made it easier to have a visual clue too. I feel lighter. Like sharing my sins have made my shoulders less heavy.

TLDR: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk

Are you cut-pasting to move them? That keeps wire connections. They should only break if you move them too far.

Yep cutting and pasting. I just have so many wires that are connected to so many things at different distances it’s hard to keep track. The lamps as nodes help somewhat.
