Would help if you provide the web page from where you tried to copy the blueprint.
Keep in mind, if the blueprint contains modded items, and you don't have the corresponding mod installed, the modded items are left out.

And explain EXACTLY every single step you perform trying to import.

im not sure about mods on the blueprint, but its not only 1 blueprint and i have pulled many blueprints before at the begining.

i simple have clicked on copy to clipbord (as before when i have played) or marked all the string and pressed control+C, then in game simply pull up the blueprintbook and pressed control+V, but no matter what blueprint i try and i have tryed atleast 4-5 differnt now i only get the same blueprint with 2 big electric powerpoles...

this is the blueprint i first tried https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comme ... ed_trains/

Works for me. All of them. The direct blueprints as well as the pastbin-ones. It's some large railway-stuff in the blueprints.
To use the blueprints, you need to use the import button. Not simply CTRL-V in a blueprint book.
See the wiki: https://wiki.factorio.com/Blueprint#Imp ... blueprints

Ctrl+V just puts the last COPY blueprint on the cursor, it does not import anything. If you want to import a string you need to open the import-blueprint-string window with the button on your shortcut bar and paste the string.
