electricity not working after update on new base?

[francisxcat]

Hey guys, after the update I opened a new base for the oil. I changed location multiple times because of 'this' problem. After I install the electricity generator (and the power tower) I put my strongest level 4 electricity palls on base. But for some reason the electricity level keeps running between 1% and 10%. On my original base everything is the same but works perfect. I even changed and upgraded my palls but electricity is not going up and for that reason I cant get any oil. Do you guys have that issue as well?? help me out please :(

Getting oil without having 3000 hours in this game and having best traits level 4 electro boys seems weirdly unappealing. I get like 5 oil every 2 hours idk. I put 1 big generator and 2 low ones for only 2 rigs. the big one with 2 level 4s, rest with level 3s, it is constantly down. Pretty demotivating.

Hey thanks for your reply! Let see if I understand (English is not my first language). You have the big generator and small ones? I dont have the big one yet but I see that multiple people have this issue. It seems that the oil machine is draining allot of energy!

The oil pump just drains a lot of electricity. If you have the large generator and the electric pylon, and a few pals with level 3-5 electricity, you should be able to generate enough power. The generator and pylon seem to make a bigger difference than the electric pal, I was able to power 2 oil pumps off of 2 large generators with a pylon, 3 Helzephyr Lux, and a Grizzbolt. Once I replaced the Grizzbolt and 2 of the Helzephyrs with my fully condensed Orserk from another base, I now have power to spare.

as oil is now a req. item & thus made a charging pal a requirement: breed 116 ozerk to make a max condensed one and put its charging up to tier 5.

tier 5 charging is about 2x as fast as charge 4.
even w/o the work speed passives its a massive benefit over any other pal for charging. (can always breed for traits afterwards. artisan, work slave, serious, & nocturnal so you dont lose charging at night)
