E.g. for a turret, place two conduits near it, one powered, one unpowered. Reconnect power - button can be used to immediately turn it on and off (by switching between powered and unpowered conduit) without requiring pawn activity.

It's a known thing, it's just unknown why nothing was done about it. Especially now that switches use components. Reconnecting should require a pawn, at the very least.

It's an exploit, not a bug. But it's definitely an exploit. I'll transfer this to the exploits list (which is secret). Thank you! Quite a clever exploit there.
