This mod allows you to globally tweak the range of all electric poles and substations using a single multiplier.

For example, a multiplier of 2.0 will double the supply area and wire reach of all poles.

Features

  • Global Multiplier: Change the range of all poles at once with a single setting.
  • Gap Control: Includes a "Maximum gap" setting to prevent large, annoying unpowered gaps when click-and-drag building. Set it to 0.5 for perfectly gapless placement while still allowing for some diagonal leeway! (This setting ignores long-distance "big" poles).
  • Mod Compatible: Works with electric poles and substations added by other mods.

How to Use

Tweak the values in Settings > Mod Settings > Startup from the main menu:

  • Range factor (defaults to 1.0; no change).
  • Maximum gap (defaults to 2.5; the same gap distance vanilla small electric poles have).

Limitations

Due to hardcoded game engine limits:

  • The maximum supply area is capped at 128x128.
  • The maximum wire reach is capped at 64.
