Unpowered Devices

[Twiz Amber]

So, I have a base with several turrets and traps, no fences what so ever. This have worked like a boss for most of the game. But as soon as you build 2 Orbital Antennas and the Orbital Radio, every attack on your colony, makes all your powered devices unpowered, doesnt matter if you got batteries or not. There are no solar flare what so ever.
As soon as the first attacking mob enters the detection range, all the devices looses power.
This happens on every wave so far.
What is this crap ? who designed this ? If this is the new way for us to handle the waves later on, at least give us a lot more traps to choose from.

I cannot remember this happening on the last game I completed.

Nearly all the attacks come at night, clearly the game has been balanced like this on purpose.

I think it's totally random. In my current playthrough, every attack occured during day so far.

Whats funny to me is you say ' What is this crap who designed this ' and the answer is YOU did ... lol you created your electrical grid no one else did. Its not the dev's fault you can't seem to figure out how to fix your power issues. Maybe there aren't enough tools for you to figure out your power problem but I honestly don't think this is a game issue. Maybe it is.. why are you using power generators at all? why cant you have enough batteries and solar panels to power your devices?

dude its just bad design.
from what we know, a battery can max output 100 energy. what the game tells me: "35 unpowowerd devices" and the battery "-201"
its just a bad game UI.

It is an overload. Batteries have a discharge rate and when you exceed it everything shuts down.

Thanks for clearing that up. I figured something like that. Guess I'm building more batteries.

For me i just build enough solarcell to handle the orbital power needed and set it to operate during the day only.

Building more batteries and getting the battery doubling researched seems to have fixed for me as well.

There is a weird bug I had on my last playthough that might explain this.

All of a sudden I saw all my devices offline, so I go check the grid and I have sufficient power output to handle it.

I am looking all around trying to figure out wtf the problem is, and I notice I dont see any lines going between my power poles.

Like, poof, all the power lines between poles were all just gone.

I figured out if you destroy a pole and rebuild it the power lines re-appear, but if you get hit by a huge bug wave (like I did) while this is going on thats the beginning of the end.

More batteries worked for me. They can only output so much.
