Buildings have no power
So I'm 60+ days in and I'm starting to build my first base. I have researched a lot while exploring and have set down a bare-bones base with a Auto iron ore mine, a hybrid stone mine and a iron refinery. All three require power. I placed down 1 building and a T2 Wind turbine. The Wind turbine is producing 100/100 power. But for some reason none of my buildings seem to receive power. They all say unpowered. I tried the usual ctrl+shift+f 11 but nothing popped up (usually says x amount of things fixed). I'm not sure what the issue is exactly, any help would be appreciated. Edit; forgot to add in case anyone asks, the wind turbine is directly next to the mines/refinery so it shouldn't be out of range or anything.

I understand that part, I don't understand why it didn't have power before...even if what you said was true and the game wasn't counting the buildings as mine, then they shouldn't have ported over if that was the case. That is what I didn't understand
because it was owned by a NPC faction so it wasnt sending power to your base.

That doesn't even make sense if you think about it. You can buy a house in a NPC faction city and they provide you with power, unless it was a hostile NPC faction then in that case yea I suppose. But regardless I just placed the buildings down so I don't know how they got converted to a NPC faction owned building. Also the side panel showed that I was producing 100 power so it had to of been owned by me.

Side note; Trying to place walls and gates on this small mountain proved tricky, but I finally got it in a such a way that I wanted. But now there is a bunch of building material from demolished walls laying on the ground, in impassable areas. My character set to haul building material is getting tied up trying to move those material laying on the ground, but cant reach them. Is there anyway to remove the building material? Also a lot of the scrap metal on the ground that will end up blocking building placement, anyway to remove those as well?

PS; thanks for the help by the way! Base is moving a long nicely now.
it's a known bug.
the current fix is importing, as it usually works in resetting ownership back to the player.

as for loose materials
importing will clear it or
moving far enough away from your base so the chunk unloads will clear it as well.
usually two or three area loads away
