So I’ve run into difficulties doing Redstone programming. You can place the Redstone in the square, but if it’s not facing the right direction, it doesn’t power the block adjacent to it.

Then the wire will connect to the one above it. When the wire no longer points directly to the block, it doesn't receive the power, and so doesn't turn off the torch.
What if after the Redstone is placed, we can right click it to choose its direction manually, instead of it being just automatic? We could then have wires adjacent to each other without them being connected, allowing for simpler/smaller designs instead of going out of the way, to make sure they connect in the way that we need.
You use a redstone repeater. It only goes in one direction - the direction you want. :smile.gif:
Thanks for the suggestion, that will make things a lot easier. But I would like to see my suggested implemented as that’s not the real purpose for the repeater, just a workaround.
