0.12.1 Personal roboport drains all power

Post by lewisd »

This is my first bug report, so I hope I'm doing it right.

In version 0.12.1, the personal roboport drains so much power, there seems to be no way to keep batteries charged.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Equip Power Armor
2. Add Portable Fusion Reactor to the Power Armor
2a. (Optional: add a bunch of Portable Solar Panels to Power Armor. I tried 21 of them.)
3. Add a couple batteries to the Power Armor
(Batteries should begin charging up now, based on indicator in lower right of screen)
4. Add Personal Roboport to Power Armor

Expected behaviour:

Battery indicator should continue charging, though slower.

Actual behaviour:

Battery indicator rapidly drops to empty.

Mouse over the personal roboport and notice how it's charging. It has a large buffer that has to be charged first and will take some time with just 1 portable fusion reactor.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Oh, you're right of course. It just took a really long time to charge up. I didn't know I could mouse over the roboport to see the charging details. Thanks!
