Waiting for this to update, once you play with this mod it's impossible to play without it.

Messing with the mod's code and it looks like it relies on this property which was removed in 2.0 with no notes in the changelog about it's replacement.

I found an alternative, but it's not as good as yours. I hope you can update it as soon as possible, thank you

Lol that's the one I'm using too! It does the job. It's kind of like having the tool activated all the time.

I absolutely can't understand why they didn't improve anything in 2.x. It's the same ugly connection crap as before. They had every chance to make it awesome.

But there are some things I find even worse about 2.x - THANK YOU to all the modders out there for bringing us back an awesome Factorio.

The noangledcables mod is super useful if you're starting a new game and use tiled blueprints a lot.

PR made on GH, hopefully approved :D

This mod was a life saver for me who likes things being neat and tidy. Couldn't live without this mod when I started playing with it. I truly hope this mod somehow is brought to 2.0.

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

I've posted an update on my branch that reintroduces the old standard with a new policy.
- Selection will now prioritize horizontal and vertical connections, where this is not possible the smallest possible connection will be made
- Will no longer connect two electric grids that were previously not connected
