I have a blueprint that is 102x102 with power poles at the corners, and it snaps to the 100x100 grid so that the large power poles overlap when I place the blueprint down multiple times.

When placing the blueprint, the poles which overlap sometimes fail to connect to the poles in the new blueprint, even though they are close enough (25 spaces). This happens sporadically and I haven't figured out a pattern yet. Cutting and pasting the pole so that a bot replaces it or manually replacing it sometimes fixes it and sometimes doesn't. Happy to provide other information or a save file if that's helpful.

I think there's a maximum of 5 connections per power pole. If the power poles on the corners of your blueprint have a diagonal connection inwards your blueprint, besides horizontal and vertical connections, you'll exceed that limit.

I can confirm the limit of 5 connection per power pole, often has been problematic with grid of substation for me, such restriction was announced to be lifted with the 2.0 version.
Finding a pattern of which connection is severed would be difficult in such case.

one can share the blueprint on the forum too in between tags [ b p ]youblueprintstringhere [ / b p ] but without those spacings inside the tags

Ah I was completely unaware of that limit, thank you! That's exactly what is happening.

So this is not a bug, please let me know if I need to adjust anything to indicate that.

you need to adjust the power pole in that blueprint , you don't need to worry about adjusting anything on the forum
