TL;DR

Make game place undergorund pipe | belt sooner if target location is blocked.

What ?

When dragging power poles game is placing them at max wire distance -or- little bit sooner when target tile(s) are occupied so wire is still attached.
Do simmilar thing for placing underground belts/pipes (exit will be placed sooner if target tile + tile directly after target tile in pipe/belt direction is occupied)

Why ?

Simple QOL thing (specially when power poles alreasy uses this algorithm) - so player can simply drag undergounds and game will figure out where to place them ...

This! It annoys me so much. +1 (for me more like a +1000)
