Regardless of reloads, 1 reactor brick remains inaccessible | Prototech ⚛ | Page 1

I have tried reloading the save/game, I have tried taking out the ion cube and putting it back in, i even tried sending the proto away then warping it back with the terminal, it always results in 1 of the 2 default power bricks being permanently "dead"

Taking it out and re-inserting merely makes the second brick the inaccessible one, and it's not a case of just 1 cube being invisible, oh no, its "occupied" but it doesn't generate power as there isnt even a cube in there. It counts it as max capacity and everything!

As always, provided screenshot of the issue + logoutput file

#

I will attempt to try and forcibly change its active state with runtime editor to see if that can defib it back into functioning properly

#

its not game breaking, but if ROTA wasnt installed, 1000 energy ion cube would not be nearly enough, but it can work with 300,000 energy

#

nevermind I dont even know where to look to access the reactor/engine objects in runtime editor

it doesnt use 300000 energy

The energy RotA displays has no effect on its capacity in the sub

the ion cubes my guy- wait

the amount of energy in an ion cube wont change how much you can have for the sub?

#

im not talking on it using more, ion cubes just have way more power in them with ROTA installed

#

Only the power values the prototype adds are used

#

It's mapped to the other battery on it so it will just look like it's draining faster than normal

#

Or rather that the portions drained take "more power"

#

huh
because im able to do a lot more with just 1 ion cube with ROTA, for appliance purposes, like chargers or fabricators

#

Those use the normal power

#

The upgrades don't

#

Also your log is 300mb full of errors from the Hydra

#

I don't think that's what causing the issue but still

ahh, I meant overall, rather than specific upgrades acting differently, I meant using the sub as a whole, i can physically do more with the extra energy as a whole

so just for clarity, it will appear to use up more power with, say, engine overclock, but it doesnt actually use more power?

its installed correctly completely, im just assuming its in part thanks to the hydra shard being very jank

In terms of the actual power numbers it will consume more but relative to all the other upgrades it won't

okay interesting
cause likke yeah it still behaves relatively the same with/out rota's extra energy in the ion cube, i can burn through all of that using the engine overclock

#

whatever the case, i can camp out while i try to figure out why 1 reactor brick is completely inaccessible

If you go here in runtime editor could you screenshot the objects under the power storage root?
