Currently there are some issues:

• TODO: remove and add the correct Item in the inventory
• Waila currently doesn't display the correct tooltip
• Doesn't save the changes in the savegame

You guys are very fast. I am looking forward to contributing in my semester break as well.

At this point, contributing seems more fun than playing 😆

So i would like to implement this feature also for the Pipes @serenibyss should i do that?

Resolved in latest commits

The energy net doesn't seem to properly update on swap. Some examples:

* If you are running ZPM voltage in ZPM cables, then swap from ZPM -> LuV cable, the LuV cable will not burn and continue to work as before until the net is forced to recalculate somehow (can place another cable to force it)

* If you upgrade the cable to a higher voltage or amperage, the cable will still burn using the numbers of the previous cable. For example:
  
  * Upgrading LV -> MV, the cable will burn with MV voltage if the source is updated to a new voltage
  * Upgrading 4A -> 16A, the cable will burn with >4A

so i should call an update to the net maybe

Yeah I think that should be the fix. I'm not sure exactly what that code would look like, but some way to force the net to update is definitely required

Todo:

• recompute nodes in the cables when a part is swapped
• fix multiplayer server compatibility

Btw now you can safely check control key on server if you want. Example implementation: GTNewHorizons/ae2stuff#27
I'm not sure which way is better for players though.

Attempting to swap a cable in this configuration:

Gave me this error:

Setup:

• UHV 64A energy hatch on the right
• Debug Power Generator set to 32EU/t 16A
• Connections only between the two machines
• Swapped from 16x Tin Cable -> 1x Red Alloy Cable

Honestly I think I prefer shift + lclick here over ctrl + shift + rclick

This is deliberate i expect that after the cable being swapped it won't connect right away to the machine, you have to reconnect it manually.

maybe i should change the output message
