Cable coils no longer give conductive material

[Zadeon]

As me and another mechanic found out today, cable coils no longer give some sort of conductive material when put in a reclaimer. It only gives synthrubber and steel. So now, the only ways to get enough materials to build things is to either steel pharosium from other fabricators or pray that mining is doing their job. You can no longer ask qm for cables/steal cables from cable boxes anymore to get conductive materials for the reverse engineering fabricator. Is this a bug or by design?

I certainly hope not by design; it was near the only place to get pharosium

sad. qm used to have mechanics/robotics singing their praises for sending cable crates. i guess it does make miners more valuable, but it was good to have options

They've been replaced with synthrubber-insulated steel cables. Was this intended to reduce conductivity of the wires maybe?
