No longer needed mod

Definitely not deprecated, just add mod setting to let users define the reach they want. Maybe i need reach 34 for my rail design? I really might... cough
It is really not complicated to make data customizable, i'd do this myself but there was already a popular mod around like this. I don't see other mods, they also add specific ones like 25, 44 or 64, but can't set a value. I know quality also adds different ranges, but i'm about to play without quality, and my railway blueprints relied on green quality powerpoles so...

Well, the goal of 32tiles is in-game.
At least for people who play 2.0 (I'm playing 1.x seablock, plenty of options, just like quality)

If you have specific suggestions, I might look into them.
Startup options for each quality?

Yeah a startup setting. I did a quick workaround with the 25 reach version for Factorio 2.0, and it has just 1 data line:

data.raw["electric-pole"]["big-electric-pole"].maximum_wire_distance = 25

I just changed the number to 38 for now and done. It's possible to make a quick settings file and replace that 25 with a variable from there for example. I don't know how qualities work with them though. Would have to read through the quality-mod data. Maybe it was automatic multiplier.
