[Bug] No Energy

1 votes

No power to generator, solar panels. What a ridiculous bug!
I'm playing in "open world" mode, and to my surprise, I'm completely out of power, both in the fuel generators and in the solar panels. When I turn "activate" on the generators, nothing happens, although it does make a running engine noise and consumes fuel. As for the solar panels, they are "green", a sign that they are on, but no power in the cables.

Hi there, do you have wires connected to these machines?

Yes, all networked (I built 4). Even today I built 3 water wheels, and they don't generate energy either.

Do you have the power generating items close enough to the deployables that need the power?

Yup. I built four generators, four solar panels and three water wheels. There is simply no power generation, which prevents me from using electrical equipment. The same thing had already happened with the water pump, which simply stopped working, even with power present. Unexpectedly, the water pump started working again. Now it's happening to all power generation equipment. I noticed that the problem is restricted to that map, because just now I entered the "safe zone" mode, and everything worked normally.

Today it got weirder. On the same map I'm playing (open world), in another building (distant from the main building), the energy works normally. However, in the main building, it is still not working.

No answers?
What do I do? How to solve the problem, or I will not receive support? Please advise, as it was unfeasible to play with the glitch that the game presented.

Hi there, sorry for the late response. Your issue is super weird and no one else has come across it so it's hard for the devs to reproduce. Do you have any videos or more photos of this happening so I can pass this onto a dev to look into? Thanks!

Goodnight. It took me a while to respond because I had trouble finding this post. I noticed that the problem occurs when we close the circuit, that is, we connect in a closed circle, instead of connecting in branches. In fact, what happened was that after installing a large electrical network, I inadvertently connected the end of it with the beginning, causing the problem. After removing the entire network and remaking the branched connections, the problem was resolved.
