Place a thermal generator with three splitters picking up the fuel from the belt
Place a second generator next to the first
Place two splitters (I was using blue if that's possibly part of the issue), feeding the second generator from the first generator (creating a chain of generators)
Shift-click on the second generator to copy it
Place the copy next to the second generator with the splitters linked up, adding a third to the chain
While the splitters show a connection between the second and third generators, the third generator will show NO FUEL and the splitters won't feed. It is necessary to manually delete and recreate the splitters to get them to feed fuel.
Note, this does work correctly if you're placing a working chain of generators in a blueprint--this is just an issue with the shift-click copy function.
I should also note it works correctly in the mod this mod replaces (the name escapes me--the one that allows you to copy buildings and their splitters).
