Wires with loose ends

[lolic_lol]

How to work with such wires?
For example, the wire was connected to one box. I removed this junction box and installed another one. The end of the wire dangles nearby, but how to pick it up and connect it to the box?
Yes, I can detach it at the other end and put it in inventory, but then I'll have to re-wire.
I don't want to pull the wire again, just take the nearest free end of the wire and connect it to the box. Not in the submarine editor.

Or just detach wire from one box and attach to another.

If i understand your question correctly... there is no way to do what youre asking. Gotta pull the wire from both ends and start over =/

Sadly. But thanks.

In the editor you just need to doubleclick on the last node. You might need to move the other nodes away a bit to doubleclick on the exact wire.
Then you can reconnect it to whatever you want to.
Don't doubleclick on the dangly wire bit, but the node that it is dangling from.

I once read "Did you know you can click on the loose ends of wires and then you don't have to rewire them?" here in the discussions.
Didn't ever manage to get it to work though.
It's pretty stupid the devs made a function, that locks a wire to a certain box, instead of SIMPLY NOT DOING THAT! Why doesn't your cable ALWAYS follow you, like when you attach it for the first time???
In some standard subs you don't even have the possibility to remove the other end, because the genius devs put the circuits INTO THE WALL, so you can't access them... Which is another WHY??? WHY can't i click on circuits that are inside walls???

[lolic_lol]

Yes, the same situation. The other end of the wire is in the relay, which is in the wall.
The other end is loose, but I can't connect it anywhere. You just can't take it.
It would be logical to add the ability to grab a hanging wire and continue to lay the wiring.

Technically, you can destroy structural walls to expose and access components inside...

Can't do that to "decorative" panels though.

Anyway, simply picking up an item that is behind another interactable item is a serious problem already. IMO this is a more pressing issue than implementing more sensible wiring. Then 8px grid instead of 16px grid.
