Description of the Bug

Once upon a time, (five years ago!), I posted this issue, describing a situation where the charge network for the electric locomotive would behave erratically while the track was being placed in the world. A fix was proposed and merged, but never, to my knowledge, released publicly; the merge happened roughly two months after the final public beta.

I'm here to report an almost (but not entirely!) identical issue with the mod's current iteration. Complete with the weird title and the utter lack of reliable reproduction steps.

Much of what is described in the original issue remains true, but the numbers are different. Once the network is built, and no further nodes are added, it seems absolutely stable, and runs without issue for days at a time. However, adding nodes OR a server restart tends to break it. (Chunkloading and unloading of the associated track has no impact.)

The size of the rogue network will vary. The charge meter may not respond at all (nothing posted to chat when interacting with the track), or it may report a net with a size only a fraction of the correct size. For example, if the net size should be 2008, it may report a size of only 350.

To repair it, I've been running about trying to find a transition point between two network sizes. There I would break and replace the track, in an attempt to join the networks. Typically this works, but it takes some time, particularly if there are multiple break points, and isn't much fun.

Once repaired, it remains happy until the next building spree or server restart. (I can not say if it does, or does not, happen in a single player world. Presumably it does, but I can't promise.)

As always, thank you for your time.

Expected behavior

Unsurprisingly, I expect the charge network to behalf itself and not demand attention so much.

Nothing obvious in the logs, but I don't know if there is something for which I should be looking either.
