I'm having such a hard time with the power system. Every single day all the lights connected to the panels work just fine. But once the sunlight is gone and the lights turn off, I have to physically take the bulbs out, and put the same bulbs back in to restore the lights. Also, trying to reorganize power supplies in my base, I disconnected all lights and appliances, including lamps. My dinning room light was "too short" to reach to the original fuse box it was already connected to. So When logging out and logging back in all of my lights where all reconnected? I feel the power system needs a lot of work because even trying to find workarounds for the bugs is getting a bit frustrating at this point.

What's your power set up?
Like how is it all connected?
I.e. lights - fuse box - solar panels?
Solar panels won't generate electricity at night for obvious reasons

are your panels hooked into a battery bank that feeds into the fuse box?

I have the same problem, on a multiplayer server. I basically have a makeshift solar panel that is connected to a makeshift battery. To that battery, I have connected everything in the house. In order to switch the lights on/off I need to click their switch and then dettach and re-attach the light bulb. Otherwise, another approach is to switch it on or off and go away from home so that the house rerenders when I get back with the correct switched value.

Sorry, I just noticed these. So lemme clarify a couple things! Basically I had solar panels hooked up and they were connected to the fuse box. They would function fine during the day, then turn off at night (because no sun and no batteries yet). then in the morning would never turn back on, even waiting until mid afternoon or evening. The panels would have enough power, everything shows connected and green. Everything show its receiving sufficient power. But the lights never came on. The only fix was to take the bulb out and put the same bulb back in at which point the lights would be on. Or logging out and logging back in again and all the lights would be on.
Things to note:
- I know when the sun goes down they don't create energy.
- I'm specifically referring to not having any power during the day
- All appliances and thing worked just fine.
- This only affected the ceiling lights, floor lamps, and porch lights
- I know each consumes X amount of energy.
- I changed literally nothing, but logging out and logging in always fixed the problem
- Reinserting the lightbulbs also fixed the issue
- No the lightbulbs were not broken as the same exact lightbulb fixed the problem.
Hope that helps!
