Unfortunately, it doesnt work like the old one, as it completely severes connections that are not straight instead of finding the best straight path when possible and leaving as is if none could be found.
Yes. As mentioned in the PR the Alt Select mode is the new default as the main reason with inconsistent power poles should be fixed now that ghosts can have connections. That being said. I’ll see if I have more time to properly update the primary function. I only did the alt mode as that’s what I used and was busy updating other mods
It does also become a bit more complicated because of the new logistic wire auto snap / reconnect feature so will likely new a completely new policy then destroying and recreating all the poles and letting the Factorio engine handle the standard reconnection
