Indeed! In this case "it ought to work" really means "someone ought to have noticed this".

I know how to draw wires, but how do you make them jump from one tile to another without interrupting the circuit?

You can either use steel walls or wire tunnels Slight smile

Remember that wire tunnels can be nested, so if you put two east tunnels in a row, then a west tunnel, it will only connect to the second east tunnel.

So far I've found that while tunnels seem cleaner, they are more confusing to figure out.

If you have a lot of connections, make all your walls metal.

To be honest I can't believe no one pointed out this bug in the editor. It seems super obvious.

I was searching for those wire tunnels. I didn't realize that they were their own tile in the editor Fail Thanks.

Unfortunately in the level I am currently designing that could not work because it has horizontal and vertical wire crossing each other. I will try to limit the use of tunnels to when it is required, however.

That's not a bug, that's an ant!

If I'm understanding you correctly, this is not a problem because horizontal and vertical wires crossing are not connected to each other. It impossible to have a "four-way" wire connection.

This is the part of the level that was problematic:

I wanted the swich to work with the horizontal wire and not the vertical one, and to prevent the wires on the right from connecting with the vertical wire.

The switch needs the wire tunnels, but the horizontal wire tunnels shouldn't be necessary.

It's possible; you just have to do this:
