this is wildly confusing. It was easy at the start, and now I'm not sure if it is glitches or bugs or what, but I have 11.5M battery capacity, More Solar that looks/appears to be appropriate, and suddenly my batteries won't charge for a dam
Am I missing something? my game is essentially dead if I can't get power back up.
Also, this Bug reporting needs a #power or # battery-specific tag. Neither are available.
I'm going to lose the main story line for building the laser because power wont start 😦

Did you accidentally unplug them?
shrewd pasture
everything is connected
proper tendon
Its showing 2 separate grids and as its nighttime there is no way to really test
proper tendon
much better view thank you! 🙂
shrewd pasture
@ 3k+ generated and still no power.
proper tendon
Yea only 80 power is making it to the grid.
click on a battery to see how much input they are getting?

Weird

Have you tried disconnecting/reconnecting everything
?
shrewd pasture
this fluctuates as well from that value to 0 back and forth
I can try that... give me a moment
proper tendon
WAIT
shrewd pasture
ok
proper tendon
You have solar power connected on two ends making a loop
shrewd pasture
What do you mean?
proper tendon
one sec I will edit the image
shrewd pasture
Thanks jsut tell me what i need to try and fix.correct
proper tendon
crimson karma
Both go to a power pole
proper tendon
Its disconnec ted
crimson karma
Yeag
proper tendon
And follow the line its not connected but generating
shrewd pasture
So i want only 1 line going to the main line to the far left?
proper tendon
And make sure the block right of the line is actually connected in cause right now its doesnt look like it is
crimson karma
Yes since solar panels can only do 2 connections you can't really have multiple grid connections
First is connected, and rest is a chain between all panels
But your line is broken as indicated by dc
crimson karma
Yes
proper tendon
Yeppers
shrewd pasture
ok 1 moment
crimson karma
It's a bit annoying especially when switching to a new panel size
3 connections like batteries would definitely help
proper tendon
I just build pods of 3x3 and zig zag it to keep it neat and avoid the repair bug with them.
crimson karma
Repair bug?
Can't get repaired and disconnects everything?
I just connect both ends
proper tendon
People have reported and shown that building big blocks of solar or batteries the drones can't path to the center of it after a while
crimson karma
Bit wasteful with cables but eh
shrewd pasture
Seems to be working now!
proper tendon
Nice
shrewd pasture
why would that last connection back to the main line to the left cause it to loop? or just stop working?
you would think as many connections as possible would work regardless...
crimson karma
People have reported and shown that building big blocks of solar or batteries th...
Oh, I always keep them thin and long so easy access from the side
proper tendon
Bit wasteful with cables but eh
I have about 22mil and I havent even made it to the repeater yet lol
crimson karma
Well no bug at least
proper tendon
you would think as many connections as possible would work regardless...
you gotta think real world. You wouldnt do that. You would have solar to battery to out.
shrewd pasture
Thank you strangers!
proper tendon
Anytime 🙂
shrewd pasture
are you jsut friendly helpers or are you with the devs?
shrewd pasture
Much appreciated! loving the game!
so just to be safe...
how do i want to set up the grid? solar to batteries to lines?
proper tendon
No they should be separated. Everything to the main trunk. So how you have solars to the trunk is good. Just dont put solar Battery ->Solar->Trunk cuase thats known to cause you charging/output issues
proper tendon
Basically yea

can the cargo elevators ONLY handle up to 4 materials?
As soon as i add a 5th, it seems the logic goes out the window and materials pile up in the wrong belts constantly.
If i had a belt to the ALUM storage, all of these belts go to haywire.
crimson karma
No idea I've never done more than 4 mats, interesting
shrewd pasture
I mean, logically, as soon as you split a belt, both materials should go in each direction.
Suddenly, other mates start coming onto the wrong beltways.
this onyl seems to affect outgoing materials once topside of the elevator
theoretically with this logic, you can run almost as many materials as you wont on the belt...
crimson karma
Ask in main chat maybe people know
shrewd pasture
Can i mark this solved? or something?
proper tendon
<@&1143117209925861406> Can we make this one resolved? or delete it as we helped.
