I’ve noticed that changes to pipe and wire layouts are instantaneous if no new entities need to be built. For instance, this wire layout:

─────
─────

can be changed to this immediately:

──┬──
──┴──

Is the reverse also possible somehow? If I wanted to separate the two networks again, I’d deconstruct one of the middle wires and rebuild them in the right orientation, without the junction. But that can’t be the proper way to do it, right?

    If I’m understanding what you’re trying to do…use the pliers?

      See, I knew I missed something. Thank you.

      For Googlers coming here: “Pliers” was the name of a mod that added this functionality. It’s now available via the “Disconnect” tool in the bottom right corner.

        Sure thing. I haven’t played in a while and didn’t realize they’d added pliers into the base game. 😁
