Feature request: easy way to replace glowing redstone with regular redstone for entire circuit

[Mr-Gelo]

The Glowing redstone is very good tool to build and test your circuits. But compared to the Regular redstone it has some disadvantages. Building ALL your circuits with the Glowing redstone is:

1. Expensive. Glowing redstone requires Glowstone dust which is usually harder to obtain than regular Redstone dust.

2. Distracting. Seeing all that blinking wires in every circuit you have is really distracting. The only option is to hide the circuit completely, but it may contain some components, which should not be hided (tiny lamps, indicators, levers, etc.)

3. Harder to process for computer. This may be incorrect but wires with static appearance probably should not be as hard to process and render, compared to wires with several different visual states.

Thus the Glowing redstone is good for testing circuits, but after the circuit is finished - it's better to rebuild it with the Regular redstone before start using the circuit widely. And there we have a problem - you need to rebuild almost the whole circuit from the scratch.

Therefore I request an easy way to replace Glowing redstone with Regular redstone for entire circuit and/or it's blueprint. This mechanic should also respect wires' connections and colors. It may be an option for screwdriver or other tool, or a crafting recipe for blueprints, or something else.

So this is for the entire circuits as opposed to #76 wouldn't that be enough?

[Mr-Gelo]

No, I don't think it would be enough. If you create a complicated circuit with multiple levels - it will be REALLY difficult and boring to replace all the wires by clicking on each one. You will probably also need to destroy upper layers of the circuit in order to get to the wires on the bottom. And you will need to rebuild those upper layers later on :(

You could've just suggested it in the other issue, though :P
