Why can't we connect heavy watt wires to gantries?

[Steve Raptor]

I just noticed that gantries can only be connected with wires/conductive wires.

Considering that each gantry consumes 1.2kw this makes little sense, as you need 2-3 of them and would have been much easier to connect them to a solar network with heavy watts.

What is the logic behind this?

Probably a bug. Everything else can accept heavy watt wires.

post a bug report please

Everything except doors. So maybe it's considered a door which does make sense.

Unless it was changed, you can build the Door over the Heavy-Watt but not the other way around.

You can't do that anymore. It was changed ages ago (in tubular upgrade iirc).

(And I just checked, you still can't)

On the same breath, Il also add that I don't understand the purpose of re-tracking gantries in the first place....it severs no purpose.

You can launch the rocket with gantries deployed.

They will improve the rocketry part of the game in the next update. I'm pretty sure it will have a purpose

It counts as a flloor tile, that is why. Makes sense, but is annoying.

a mighty closing door can destroy everything. Heavy wire not an exception.

Conductive wire isn't included in the definition of everything?

Maybe cause they catch more heat deployed when the rocket is fired resulting in instantaneous overheating.  

 

Just guessing here.

No, I guess it’s nothing. It can go through wall/door, like pipes. I was kinda joking back then.

While you cannot build heavy watt wires on top of gantries, gantries can be built on top of heavy watt wires.
