power poles for long distance power

[OldVamp]

I often seem to need the power from that remote steam geyser, so I have to run power across the map, laying a five lane highway and firebreaks so they don't burn like a fuse all the way back to the base.

It would be great to just plop down a 3x3 'power pole' which used a similar amount of resources, and the wires would 'dangle above' the ground an be non flammable / interactable.
They could have a limited range which they could connect between, and only in straight lines.
They could have a high work amount to build, or cost a ton of materials to offset the benefit.

Support! Except... Raiders would attack the poles easier and make it all moot!
Underground conduits FTW!

I agree underground conduits should exist and cost a huge amount of work to build 1 unit due to all the digging (A 1x1 Square basically theyre digging their own height and width), atleast 12-20 hours depending on build skill, Cuz hey, theyre permanent!
