[W |0.0.254b Backup Batteries not connected lost power during surge

[Konstint]

#1 Make backup batteries not connected to main source of power ,( ie ) - 4 solar power plants and 20 batteries seperated from everything else in base.

#2 Event - Power surge - the surge struck my main grid of power, blew up main batteries.

#3 Backup Batteries power went 0 , is this intended?

My thinking was to have a secondary power source so i can connect a wall or line to the main grid in emergency situations.

Kon!

So the batteries where not connected to the grid in any way?

I had this happen to me and my backup supply did not lose power.

What Semmy says.  Easy way to see if they'er accidentally connected is to check the "Connected Stored" and "Connected Rate".  Make sure they are different

So the batteries where not connected to the grid in any way?

Correct, had no walls and no lines connected to the backup.

Also checked the stored power of both and they are both different numbers and seperate inteties.

Ok i will test it out now.

I had backup batteries disconnect from the source.
I run 25 tests with the shortcircuit event.
The backup system never exploded or drained its batteries unless the explosion was actually there.

You'r system must have been connected somehow.
Maybe by a wall.
Another possibility might have been rain.
Neglected repairs
Or a power surge at the batteries themselves.

Is this possible?

I just ran some tests on this as well, i can only lose power in my backup if it's connected or if it happens to the backup system.

[Konstint]

ok, thanks for checking , maybe just something weird on my game.

Sorry for wasting your time 

Kon!

[Semmy]

Not wasting time Konstint.
If it happens again just let us know.

We got a version with devtools wich lets us replicate the events and maybe we were lucky maybe you unlucky.
But if it happens again just post in this topic.
I got notifications on for this topic so i will get a msg straight away and will try and replicate the bug.
