b Incorrect wire distance calculation

7 years ago

Factorio seems to always calculate wire distances between entity centers. This creates an ugly discrepancy when connection points are moved far off center.

As far as I know there's no way to make factorio calculate off center, so the remaining option is to stick connectors in the middle of chests.

Yeah, i don't know about that...i personally like connection point on the side, but i agree that works only for not too wide chests. I could add another config value but setting where your connection points appear seems stupid.

I'd really like to see that stupid option anyway.
I don't really understand how all this graphics overlays staff work with coordinates, I once tried to figure out, but after wasting about a day I stopped.
So now I just don't touch this graphic staff most of times.

But if you know how to move that point to the center that would be great.
