How to Cut Parts in Electricity Bricklayer: Circle and Square Cutting

Yes — Electricity Bricklayer has circle and square part cutting, confirmed in the official Update 4.1 changelog. Here's what the game confirms and how cutting differs from Snap mode.

Yes — Electricity Bricklayer lets you cut parts into circle and square shapes. The game confirms it directly in the official Update 4.1 changelog, which lists "Added Circle and Square cutting" among the update's additions, so both cutting options exist in the game as of Update 4.1.

What the game confirms

The Update 4.1 log names each shape separately — circles and squares — so the two cutting options are confirmed features, not a single generic cutting tool. The changelog does stop there, though: it confirms the options exist but doesn't describe the in-game controls for using them, so the exact buttons are something you'll see in-game rather than in the update notes. Update 4.1 was a building-focused patch overall, shipping cutting alongside new Motors with a Wrench tool for adjusting Pistons and Motors, NAND, NOR and XOR logic gates, and adjustable Nail Head sizes.

Cutting vs. Snap mode

The same update also introduced a New Snap mode, "which allows to snap one part to another," plus a separate "Fixed part Snapping" entry. That is placement alignment — pulling one part flush against another as you build — not a cutting action. If you're looking to shape parts into circles or squares, the feature you want is the Circle and Square cutting addition; Snap mode just helps parts fit together neatly.

Keep building from there

Once your parts are cut to shape, the usual building routines take over: anchoring holds a structure in place, and saving keeps your build for later. For the full picture, see how to anchor parts.
