HV short circuit explosion

[Klaranth]

Player1234 Can there be a thing that when you "short circuit" hv wires it explodes and puts a thin layer of copper on everything, burning wood things (and maybe even have the screen go a blue-white lighting sorta thing!)

also! (way lower on the list) turn the machines connected with the hv wire to blocks of coal.

SX For technic cable, what would be short circuit situation? Connecting different active networks together without bringing down at least one side first? Using tron wrench between 2 HV cables that belong to different networks :p Wrench is usually what you would use to short circuit car batteries anyway (but please do not try that, acid on clothes is not nice and face covered in acid is a lot worse...)

Player1234 well was thinking like when you make a square at the end of the line, or maybe when it hits an iron/bronze/copper/gold block, or something like that.

so all that rubber and plastic insulation would not actually be doing anything? Maybe adding straight up copper wires would make this believable. These would connect to existing cables and conducting blocks. Could also ground on those huge iron/lead/dirt blocks :p

LV cables have simple paper insulation, that with sharp things or water could be something... Or player standing on metal/wet dirt/water blocks while digging or hitting any cables with sharp object, would be short circuit through player in question ⚡

I just hope this isn't seriously considered x)
