Shield regen perma turned off + battery bug

[Katmorphous333]

I have seen shields not regenerating their layers a bunch of times over the hours Iv put into this game. It always seems to happen after they are affected by electrical surges/electrical storms hazards.

It doesnt happen as often as it used to, most of the times it can be fixed by turning the shield on, off, on or by taking the shield out of its node and placing it back in again(which is a fix for weapons staying off aswell, most of the time anyway).

But now that endless mode is a thing, when your run reach its last stretch, you get electrical surges/electrical storms hazards often, and it causes the shields to bug more often. It seems to happen mostly when we leave a mission with those hazards, as if the game thinks the hazards are permanently applied while in the void or something, then getting out of the void into the next mission will keep the effect going permanently somehow. This bug can happen with weapons too but it will only make them stay off and not do anythingelse, but it rarely ever happens to weapons.

As for visuals, most of the time you will see the shield normal online screen but without any shield layers. Sometimes the screen will be on but you will only see layers blinking as if they were charging but they never reach a non blinking fully charged state. Sometimes you only see one layer on the screen even if all layer switches are on.

Turning off the helm doesnt do anything to fix it either. I never really experimented if turning off the power of the entire ship does anything to affect this bug but I doubt it does since the shields are in an offline state most of the times it happens, but ill try it if I come across this bug again.

On a side note, there is that battery bug that happens with shields sometimes. You turn on a shield and turn on the layer switches you want. Then place a battery for them to charge faster. The battery drains as the layers are charging. Then when the layers are fully charged, somehow the battery keeps draining till it reaches 0. Most of the times you can fix this by just plugging the battery back in. Other times you gotta turn off the shield and do the whole thing again. This bug doesnt happen often though but it can happen at any time, not only when shields are affected by electrical surges/electrical storms hazards.

I experienced this bug with the shields just now. The first layers would blink blue and grey and no charge would leave the power cells. Moved it all around the ship, toggled it a bunch, never got it to work.
