I think it is an game engine limitation that nothing can be done about.

Yes, I raised this as a bug with the Factorio team a while back but unfortunately there was no momentum with it: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=96231&p=538265#p538265

I wouldn't expect them to change the power line rendering just to support thicker wires, unfortunately.
As a product manager, if I would touch this part at all, I would update the rendering in a way that would make this mod obsolete.

For what it's worth, on high resolutions, this mod is a huge improvement already.

I've made a suggestion about using a shader for wire rendering and made a demo on shadertoy

Hi @Thaui, your shadertoy link appears to be broken/or private?

I did put it in public, but for unknow reason I can't access on my account either, I've updated with a workaround to copy paste the code in a new shadertoy page
