[2.0.41] Powerpole not connecting to transmission line.

Post by calebleemcd »

When I go to place a power pole in this position, it fails to connect to the adjacent transmission line.
In a different location it connects to the substation, and in other locations on the map there is no issue.

Welcome on forums. This behavior is working as designed: electric pole will not auto connect to other electric poles if that would cause any of those poles to have more than 5 copper cables. You can manually add a copper cable if you really need it.
