Based on a previous suggestion about Wire terminus, I'd like to suggest moving the Wire Junction Boxes to their own layer (like wires and actuators) rather than having it as a foreground object.
You would place a junction using a new Insulation Tape tool. You can make Insulation Tape at the Tinkerer's Bench by combining 1 silk and 1 gel, and it stacks up to 99.
Insulation Tape could place 9 different junctions:
- Cross: connecting opposite wires on all 4 sides
- The 2 Diagonals: connecting neighbouing wires
- Vertical Bridge: Connecting wires above and below (but not horizontally)
- Horizontal Bridge: Connecting wires to the left and right (but not vertically)
- 4 Terminus junctions: Connecting to wires on one specific side and blocking connections to the other 3 sides
Just like the multi-wrench you would right click to bring up a selector to change the type of junction you placed.
Lastly, it'd make wire junctions invisible! That'd be a very nice visual improvement than having foreground wire junctions always showing whereever they are, and sometimes needing a tile removed from some nice stone or woodwork to be placed.
