An addon for Wire Shortcuts.

This mod removes free copper cables (to be usable in recipes) and the availability of red wires and green wires in the early stages of the game through Wire Shortcuts.

The mod realizes it by replacing vanilla copper cables in every recipe, whether as ingredient or crafting result, with surrogate copper cables. The shortcut still gives (now 200) vanilla copper cables, but it won't be usable in any recipe, and it can only be used for wiring.

Every Wire Shortcut will be available from the start. However, the shortcuts for red wire and green wire will only give their respective items, when the player researched the technology 'Circuit network'.

Many thanks to daydev.

To do:
- Better icon for surrogate copper cable
- Localisation (?) or use vanilla copper cable localized name
