how to connect internal facilities to power?

[Squashie]

Any building I build inside can't be connected to outside grid.
I built the a wall connect and when I try to run the wire, it tries to create a pole and the facilities don't have a connection point.
Stumped.

I have the same question, the buildings indicate they need power, but I can't connect them with wires or build a power pole.

They connect when the room is closed.

I have it connected to the grid just fine, I need to connect components inside the room to electricity.

To state it differently, I have done what you are showing the screenshot, how do I power something inside the room I built? The room is completely enclosed.

All internal elements are powered by the connector itself, you don't need to plug them in. Do you have a problem with modules that are not plugged in? If so, try entering room mode and exiting, that should help. Thanks for the tip, I'll check that out now

I closed and re-opened the game and the internal structures had power again, looks like it might have just been a minor bug that a reload fixed.

Ok but like it keeps happening. I have like 3 of these power blocks on the wall, all hooked to my main power grid, and its telling me I have 0 power inside. I reloaded the game, it said it was connected now, but as soon as its night, im back to 0 power in my interior. I have like 25 solars and batteries, and it says I have basically full power, but the second it hits night, bam, everything in the interior suddenly cant detect power, and I can only get it back by reloading....I mean this is a pretty glaring issue. Whats the deal with that?

Hi, actively looking into this problem at the moment, thank you so much for detailing this. It will help us a lot

I got the same issue but re-opening game didn't help me. In the end I was running out of oxygen and got to load earlier game, which didn't have this issue. This helped me narrow it down when it exactly happened - when I started building second room, not connected to the first one. As soon as I planned new building - the previous lost power.

Okay, something is wrong with having multiple buildings - when I wanted to check if creating second building and connecting it to power will help with power outage in the first building - it didn't help. Moreover - similar issue with lack of water was triggered.

Oh hey I had 1 single room, power was fine. I split it in half with a wall (at night so not sure which) and the power was messed up. It might have been the multiple room thing. I was fiddling back and forth with how I was splitting my room so you could be on to something there.

I have this bug and the solutions n for now is to go into the room building menu, select normal wall, and right click to close the interface. Has worked whenever I have tried it.

Yep. Had a full room built with a door. Then started expanding by adding a secondary room and at the same time building out facilities in the first room. Electricity didn't connect until the new room was built.

Same issue for me
As soon as i try and build individual rooms in my "big room" my power is messed up and none of the rooms recieve power anymore despite having a positive power income and a power coupling in each of the rooms did not resolve it.
