When I place lightning rods like this, the UI promises it covers all tiles, but it doesn't cover the centre tile.

Thank you for the report.

Just FYI, the entity actually is protected, it is the alert that incorrectly showing.

Thanks! I considered that and was waiting for lightning to hit it

You can generate lighnings via commands, example:

/c game.player.surface.execute_lightning{name = 'lightning', position = {1.5, -70.5}}

those are still subject to the attraction logic
