Rebooting fixed my bug

[Shurp]

So I ran into a bug with Rimworld today.  Pirates blew up my lone windmill, and while I was fighting them my base ran out of power.  I did manage to kill them, and then I rebuilt my windmill and I was stumped that nothing in my base would power up.  The batteries wouldn't charge, the heaters wouldn't heat, even though everything was showing 2000+ watts going into them.

I saved, I reloaded, I tried again, nothing worked.

Finally I shut down Rimworld and restarted.  I loaded my game again, and that's when I noticed the little "Solar Flare" notification that had showed up just after my fight with the pirates ended...

D'oh!

Moral of the story: sometimes you have to reboot  your *brain* before you can understand what's going on!
