Geothermal not putting out listed power

[dragonscape2]

Had the event where your power lines explode draining all power. Afterwards my geothermal's don't put out there listed power. My base is only using about 4000ish watts while a geo puts out 3600 2 geos should be able to run this no problem but they cant.

Without looking at your save, is your power grid damaged?  When that event occurs, the power conduit where it happens is destroyed.  Unless you have multiple routes for your power to flow, you could simply have a disconnected generator.

No everything is connected, repaired it right after it blew up.

Loaded up your save file and there is 10 kW in excess production. You are currently using some 7-ish kW, and you have 3 kWd stored. What exactly is the problem?

[dragonscape2]

Most of that 10kw is coming from the solar panels with some coming from the wind turbines as well when the sun goes down the power tanks. The 7.2kws from the 2 geos is not getting added in properly.

Not at the moment of the save.  The Solar Panels are producing 0 each (its 2200, night time), the Wind turbines are producing 1165, 1453 and 1454 Watts, and the two GeoThermals 3600 each for a total of 11,272 watts.

I'm not sure we are looking at the same save file...

Here is the breakdown (at the moment of save):

Production: 16.5 kW
7.2 kW geothermal (2x 3.6 kW)
5.1 kW solar (3x 1.7 kW)
4.2 kW wind (2x 1.5 kW + 1.2 kW)

Excess: 7.8 kW

Consumption: ~8.7 kW
Some 19x lamps, 6x turrets, 7x coolers, benches, beacon, crematorium, etc. They add up pretty quickly.

Stored: 3 kWd

I did the calc with CCL Vanilla Tweaks initially enabled (10 kW excess using that model) but then I redone the calc without it and it still looks OK on my system. Maybe you are misinterpreting the numbers as "Consumption/Stored" instead of "Excess/Stored"?

[Chibiabos]

Production: 16.5 kW
7.2 kW geothermal (2x 3.6 kW)
5.1 kW solar (3x 1.7 kW)
4.2 kW wind (2x 1.5 kW + 1.2 kW)

That's weird.  I've attached a screenshot from my having loaded the save.  Power Output of the 3 solar panels shows as 0; the Wind turbines are at output 1165, 1453 and 1454.

Are we getting different results looking at the same savefile?

Yes. When I load the game, solar panels are producing power. The wind values I have just rounded up, so they match.

I tried the save, and I got hwfanatic's solar values and Chibiabos's wind turbine values:
Geothermal: 3600
Geothermal: 3600
Wind turbine: 1165
Wind turbine: 1453
Wind turbine: 1454
Solar panel: 1700
Solar panel: 1700
Solar panel: 1700

TOTAL OUTPUT: 16,372

Granted, I did unpause/pause for a split second because I didn't realize the game started paused.  The game was unpaused for about a quarter second IRL time.

But the geo's are both putting out a solid 3.6k each. 

EDIT - When I load the save from the forum, it's 5th of Spring, 5502 @ 13h.  What time/date stamps are you all seeing?

[hwfanatic]

The same.

[Tynan]

Ok, can anyone provide a clearer repro case for this?

Permadeath games save when you quit, so if you load one over and over you'll get the game at different times.

I loaded the savefile and everything seems to be ok. Feel free to start a new thread if you're sure something is wrong with the power system.
