when placing powerpoles just 1m or more out of max range it still consumes the iron rods, when i click place, even though it does not place.

I tried to build and place the workbench 3 times in the village; it didn't build but consumed the items each time.

Got the same issue. My Wire Roll was empty so I wasn't able to place powerpoles but still consumed the other resources needed.

Also conveyor belts will consume items and not place at times

To add to this when I try adding wires to the wind turbines the materials are consumed and nothing is placed unless i add the wire from a side connected to a consumer and not the new added turbine.

This happened to me when placing the workbench, it would seem to place, consume the resources, then when leaving the crafting view it wasn't placed.
