Something seems to have changed in the combination of synth:energy void auto-collector and reactor:auto-power-mange since the 0.71 update. On both Steam/Windows and Steam/Linux versions, I observe random failures to automatically manager power when the void energy boost runs out (only sometimes, not always, so...unfortunately difficult to reproduce). Disabling energy void auto-collector resolves the problem, but I guess that's still not the intended behaviour.
#Reactor auto-power-manage unreliable after 0.71

I cant figure out how this would happen, the power manager changes automatically when generation changes. and theres also a 2 second buffer windoww where things wont turn off. how often does it happen for you after void energy?
probably less than 5% ... I tried 3 times, once it happened during a long day of minimized afk-running during early 0.71 (now idea after how long, I only noticed when I was back), then I tried again and it happened within 1 hour (both times on Windows); then earlier today when I wrote the report I tried once more (this time on Linux, after the most recent update) and it happened again basically immediately. I never had problems before 0.71 , auto-power-manage always did reduce the boost levels successfully before the battery would run dry.
If it helps, here is the relevant part from the reactor screen (without the extra void collect):
(with the extra it goes to 6.30e81 generated, damage level 867, shields 868, synth 869)
can you send me your save. I think its robably some slightly more specific setup where your just barely over or under the drain amount and your max cap r soething
(I'll try to send via direct message)
I currently have a similar issue, every time I start up the game my reactor is turned off completely.
This is my save export
Reactor settings
This started after the last update as well
I’m having a similar issue. Either at startup, or sometimes just randomly, all of these will shut off for me. Seems to happen mostly when I’m pushing and getting bounced back often.
For me it's even when I'm on sectors that I have no problems with
when I load this save reactor is all running
if your getting bouned back often, yo might be running out of void matter entirely
oh, this is from a few patches ago its eems? acan you see if still hvae issue on latest?
I just updated, keep forgetting need to verify with steam for it to update
it still hapens to me
I think when I load it, all the incomes are 0,. and it just empties out before any ships are destroyed
When you load that save you put up there?
no it was a new one
