Power Overload


Performant, semi-realistic power distribution overhaul. Power poles can explode if the total electrical consumption on the network is too high. Use transformers to separate networks so that subnetworks do not take more power than they can handle.

i [Can't-fix] Disable wires automatically connecting to electric train overhead poles

2 years ago

Hello,
the wires automatically connect to the overhead line poles from the mod "Realistic Electric Trains" (https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=64946)
a way to disable it would be neat

Sorry for taking so long to look at this. Unfortunately I can't fix it because Realistic Electric Trains creates the power poles, they are automatically connected by the game, and Power Overload has no way of knowing that the poles were created or connected so it can't disconnect them.

It can be easily fixed in that mod by adding raise_built = true to the surface.create_entity{} calls that create "ret-pole-wire".
