Small Power Poles in Smelting Array not connecting

Post by Calbrenar »

They are in range and if i delete and replace it actually works. It looks like it doesn't auto connect the wires when placed by bots?

I've noticed this phenomenon as well, it happens with large power poles and substations too. I don't know if it's something im doing wrong but they sometimes just don't connect. It doesn't happen often though.

Each power pole and substation is limited to 5 copper wire connections. If you exceed that, then the connection is not made.

That doesn't seem to be the case here. There's poles with only 1 connection and it doesn't spread. If I delete the middle one and replace it it'll work fine. This appears to be a bug.

@wobbycarly -- no biters involved at all

No, but the lack of connecting wires when placing by bots from ghosts is common. :)

Sorry should have been more specific. I wasn't saying your thread didn't have any relevance was just trying to indicate there were no biters involved in this so the issue most likely was something larger w/ blueprints.

Did you disconnect the copper lines before making the blueprint? I wonder if it inherited it as a property.
