Batteries won't keep power

Grillbye · July 05, 2018, 08:04:00 PM

I'll explain that more specifically; I'm actually running a non-steam Rimworld with some mods like Zombieland in priority and it only happened on that savefile by the way...

So basically my batteries just don't contain power. They charge until 800 W/ and doesn't seems to keep it. It decreases really fast, even when there are 2 or more wind turbines running at full power at night. Even with 4 solar panels at day, the batteries don't charge. So what did I do wrong, since it only does that on that savefile? I've got no problem with batteries on the other savefiles...

Basicly this is a topic for Mod bugs, since you couldn't identify the mod who cause the problem.
Since this isn't a normal behavior, or at last all my batteries didn't do anything you describe.
So some kind of error should appear i think, maybe check the error window.
You can try at first,
Destroy all batteries with the dev tool destroy.
Let the game run a few seconds so the powergrid update.
Then replace the batteries with the god mode enable, so it instantly get build and don't need resources.
Check if the problem is solved.

When you do go to the mod forums, make sure to mention your version, and the version of the mods installed.

There's a vanilla generic (installed) battery discharge rate of 5% (B18); it sounds very much like one of your mods changed that, as I don't remember any comments or patch notes mentioning it changing in v1.0x..

Make sure your batteries are actually connected to power.

And "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" is your next advice, I'm sure

"Uninstall and reinstall" is quite reasonable advice.

I indeed tried with a savefile with less mods and it's not decreasing like it does on that savefile with Zombieland. So I guess it's about one of the mods I had with... welp, I'll lock the subject since it seems fixed..
