I have some electric track laid; when I place a power pole near it, it draws lines to the connection points as if there will be wires, but when I place the pole, the wires to the tracks disappear. I cannot use copper wire to manually wire to the track...
Using Bio Industries, it has a solar panel Mat (walking path solar) that I can use to connect from a power pole to the track...
I disabled all mods, and enabled only RailPowerSystem, and was unable to connect with power poles of any sort; and since BioIndustries was removed I couldn't use that to connect either. The bits of track that are in range under a power pole get power; but that's not enough to transmit to others apparently, and when I drive off of them the train runs out of power.
