if you bug is long wires not disconnecting after cloning, that's a modded featur...
I'm not cloning, I'm teleporting
(again, this is very much a PoC for now. so hacked together. this is a one-line ingame chat command at this point 
)

yeah teleporting especially, in fact its how earendel's circuit transmitter worked back in ye olden days before "ignore distance" api calls
quartz wyvern

valid stratus
so yeah thats very much not a bug atm
we could probably do without now, but it'd be a breking change

Just be warned, it's not possible to teleport belts 🙂

inlcuding cloning and detroy ? (but maybe tleeporting is already clone and destroy ?)
thorn ruin
Yeah you can clone/destroy. But you could then lose circuit connections unless you purpousfully recreate them
Haha honestly I shudder thinking of all the edge cases that has to be handled if is to be fully implemented
Trains crossing, bots crossing, inserter targets having moved but the inserter is still in the original position, entities with large collision boxes being teleported earlier than small entities, etc...
Every fluidbox needing a linked connection so you can connect it to the other edge...
