Basic Accumulator Bug

Post by Prowler1996 »

I believe i have run unto a small bug nothing major, im using version 0.11.3 Build 12452 win 64x , the bug i have found is when you place a large amount of Basic Accumulators so much so that they are demanding more then the maximum power your steam engines put out they begin and continues loop with existing Basic Accumulators trying to fill there power but all that happens is they stop gaining power, and your production hits maximum. All existing Basic Accumulator get the animation as if they are drawing or giving out power but do not lose any of there power. i fixed it simply by removing all the electrical power poles that connected the Basic Accumulators to my power grid then added then back one by one and it didn't happen again when i had put them all back

As far as I know, an Accumulator can't power another Accumulator, do the bug was likely not that they were charging each other, but that some were charging, while others were discharging by powering the power grid that wasn't being sufficiently powered by the generators that were charging the other accumulators.

Yes, accumulators can't charge other accumulators. If you can provide the save game with the problem I can take a look at it.

Did you have more then 1 network connected to accumulators? I have noticed that accumulator capasiy is added total capacity of one of the network. So it may look like you have full capasity, but engines produces energy to accumulators that have theyr capasity visible in another network.

IM Afraid i deleted the save i forgot to keep an eye on coal and lost power near impossible to recover from when you get your base large enough, i do apologies for not being much help.

no i only have 1 network i connect all my remote networks to the same power grid using big power lines, cost little metal but easier i think
