Power Poles

Description
Adds the Power Poles and nothing else.
Power poles are a way to avoid running cables everywhere, and instead have a more aesthetic power grid.

Research electricity to unlock the power poles and wall connectors.

The cables can be connected manually by selecting two poles, or automatically by selecting many poles at once and hitting the button.
The cables can be adjusted to use different colours, or change the amount that they sag.

Github Repository: https://github.com/Epicguru/Power-Poles

Thanks to contributors:

Huh, nevermind it looks like there is mod options now for it, thank you for adding that Epicguru

@Jacbo if you could tell us how to do that, it would be awesome. Im looking through the mod folder to try to do it now.

Lovely mods, especially this and timelapse for me. I understand you're not making mods much anymore but thanks for keeping updated we appreciate it :steamthumbsup: now I only wish I too was capable of modding, but my brain, it's gone. I am all Bones.

I may add the option at some point but I am currently not working on my mods, no time.
I've added the GitHub link for this mod to the description if you want to tackle it yourself.

any chance we can get a wire thickness setting? I was going to do it myself but the RimForge repo doesn't look anything like the decompiled assembly for this and the decomp is missing stuff that is needed to recompile.

Also for the people talking about TPS, if you turn down the resolution setting (how many segments are in each drawn wire), there's almost no impact. The default is/was too high in 1.4.

it's not essential, and won't be as long as it's tps intensive

Guys, try the mod to see if you get performance issues because each pc/modlist/etc. is different. It has had no noticeable impact on my low-end laptop in conjunction with about 200 other mods.

Also, this mod is essential. It really should be implemented into the game.
