Cables now autoconnect on cardinal directions. All cable placement has been completely stripped out and replaced with simple single cable per tile logic.
Low effort demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXp8s6ORWbA
Yes I am aware that cutting it is not dropping wire, that version was bugged.
Cables no longer need a knot specifically placed to link to power objects. The sprite is automatically changed to represent this.
The only exception to this logic is that on smes units, due to the terminal being next to the output, they will not link there.
On a technical powernet side, this is the same as old cables once actually placed. They still use the existing powernet system, just the placement and connection works differently.
Old cables have been turned into "pipe cleaners" for wire art purposes. they work just like the old ones, just missing all the powernet functionality, and also you can put them on top of the floor.
Why It's Good For The Game
How obnoxious cables were to both map and work with in game has been something that has annoyed me for a really long time now.
This is both easier for new players to learn, and easier for experienced players to work with.
Along with making in game much more intuitive and easier, it makes mapping much easier as well. Mad lad wjohn was able to rip out all the mapping conversion in one day because of how much faster it is to work with.

add: Cables have been completely reworked. Simple per tile connection logic, automatically connects to things above it. Think minecraft redstone.
add: Old cables have been kept as pipe cleaner. They are non-functional in terms of power, but otherwise have the same connection logic. Also can go on top of tiles.
remove: mech cable layer has been removed because it was terrible shitcode nobody used
tweak: (sort of balance) cable stack sized has been reduced to 15.

There is now a bitflag that controls all the ways a species can be
selected from the different methods of changing species, xeno spawn,
pride mirror, magic mirror etc.
The soviet and capitalist golems are no longer selectable from the pride
or magic mirrors (just the badmin one)
interesting thing I found, androids and synths (including military
synth) are acheivable via xeno extracts!
* capitalism is the true way
* better sound clip
* there we go
* fixes mine and time-greens copy pasta
* adds the soviet golem to the human file
* capatalist golems now bleed money
* makes it so both capatlist and soviet golems can now use guns

I really like the Syndie lavaland base since it allows you to test deadly chem
mixes with impunity (read: without getting banned or having to set up a local
server). I have tweaked a few areas to let players experiment even further:
Chemistry related changes:
* Made the testing chamber airlock heatproof and added scrubbers/vents to
restore air after you've ignited the latest burnmix.
* Replaced loose grenade casings/assemblies with a vending machine inside
Chemistry.
* The vending machine contains casings, assemblies and one holy water bottle
for strange reagent/life reactions. If syndies are clinically bored, they can
use it to set up a monster shooting gallery as well.
* Chemical/soda/beer dispensers start emagged. This both allows syndies to
experiment with more chemicals and gives miners an incentive to come inside.
Non deconstructable, meaning you can't unwrench it.
* Added a smoke machine board to the warehouse, as well as more stock parts to
let players build more machinery and beakers for grenades.
Other changes:
* I added a cabinet with syndicate documents to the vault - this is valid for a
10.000 credit bounty at cargo.
* Replaced incinerator machinery with the proper "sydicatelava" subtypes; added
a DP vent and controller to the incinerator airlock.
* Set waste outlet volume_rate to 200 so that the chem test chamber can vent
gases quickly.
* Sets notransform on the mob and makes few more things respect it.
* Makes if location contains any indestructible walls. (I need to switch these
to flag instead of path checking)
* Adds it to smite.
* adds signal and modifies each call of afterattack to call it's inherited proc
* uses new macro for sendsignal()
* map fuck
* skip precommithooks
* combine and negate 2 ifs
* Meme removal
* unneeded check with non-shuttles not being in the typecache
* Disallows space Z transit into shuttles/inside walls and rock
* Revert 'remove navigation consoles on wardec'
* Remove ZLEVEL_STATION_PRIMARY
* Add Up and Down traits for use by ladders and chasms
* Give map_config creation its own proc
* Combine LoadConfig and ValidateJSON and remove transition_config
* Make space linkage a z-level trait
* Remove ZLEVEL_EMPTY_SPACE
* Update uses of GetFullMapPath
* Handle multi-Z stations and load Lavaland and Reebe at runtime
* Remove unused space maps
* Fix inappropriate z-expansion in map reader, improve logging
* Update comments relating to z-level configuration
* Add Lavaland and Reebe to ALL_MAPS
