If the display panel connections are facing each other, you can get longer wire reach.
However, rotating the panel retains the wire reach in an inconsistent way.

Repro steps
1) Place 1st panel at default orientation, and 2nd panel 2 tiles to the right and 10 tiles down at default orientation ...

I see this was moved to "Not a bug", but this is still a bug, despite Editor Mode being at play.

I dug some more in the inconsistency. I wasn't able to find correlation with modules or the various settings of the machine (e.g. Read Ingredients etc). But I found correlation the location of the ...

Good catch! I am indeed in Editor mode with Instant blueprinting. Edited that in the repro steps.
I would still expect Instant blueprinting to behave the same as normal blueprinting.

1) What did you do?
I have an automall with Set Recipe that also uses fluids. While testing it, i frequently delete the whole thing and undo to start over.

2) What happened?
When doing so, the rotation of the building is forgotten.

3) What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to ...

Instead of having no wire, how about a loopback wire that connects the entity to itself and forms a circuit network?
This would still retain the wire like currently existing >=2 entity circuit networks, and generalize them to >=1. Also, it is explicitly opt-in, so wouldn't break existing bases.

The ...

TL;DR

Some entities like inserters, belts, assemblers can benefit from using conditions with themselves, without any other connected entity. There are certain applications for this like in the examples below. Current workaround: add a dummy entity that does nothing just to enable the circuit ...

When placing a blueprint that contains an inserter:
- the UI provided has a checkbox
- requires confirmation to place after selection
- blueprint will be placed with the parameter (no substitution) when hitting "E".

That worked! Wow, seems pretty weird that I missed this in retrospect.
Thanks!

How can I modify the 3 values for beacon?

- Amount, affecting one: 4
- Beacon by factory: 0.5
- Constant Beacon: 3

Any value I change has no effect on the calculations, and closing/reopening the Edit Recipe window restores the values to their default.
Also, using the Apply-on-all-categories ...
