@Matt115 This isn´t a "modding is the solution" situation here though. It´s a "This still is valid when playing modded even when it´s outdated and/or useless in vanilla" situation. Mods should never be the solution. I said that a lot of times.
Even though there is situations where a mod is the solution. Like cables. TFP doesn´t give a flying F about the looks of a base, so if the cables do annoy you, you gotta either build a lot bigger and more complicated to hide them all or use a mod. The mod is the solution here.
