Found a workaround for the Power pole connection limit. Instead of directly connecting to the power pole, you can spawn in a hidden power switch that is always active, and connect its left side to the power pole on the outside, and the right side to the factory monitor substation. This will always succeed to connect, EVEN when the power pole it attempts to connect to is already connected to 5 other power poles.
While there is no practical limit to how many power switches a power pole can be connected to, there is a hard limit, where if a single power pole is connected to more than 255 power switches, the the game will hard crash on save.
