Electric traps only working during blood moon

[Frankerton]

Anyone else having this issue?

I have everything wired up perfectly with plenty of power but blade and dart traps do not function unless it is the blood moon. The second the blood moon stops they all automatically shut off as well. Is there a reason for this or is this a bug?

That is very odd, and definitely some kind of bug. But I've never heard of such a bug before, so....I got nothin. You'd be best to refer to the pinned threads, and likely to seek support on the main forum instead of here as you're more likely to get substantial help on such an odd issue there.

When you say the "the blood moon stops" I'm presuming when the clock hits 4 am and sun begins to rise. Do you but chance happen to have the electrical systems wired to a timer that only runs 10pm to 4am?

Bloodmoon days only track when to spawn a horde, otherwise they're just any other normal day which have no bearing on electrical working or not.

I think you hit it DthBlade. That makes perfect sense. Electricity being powered by a timer. When the solar generator should come on. Sounds like they need to flip the time by 12 hours.

My power set up is [Solar Bank] -> [Battery Generator] -> [Switch] -> [Normal Relays] and the relays connect to all the traps. It looks like the battery generator stops powering things once day breaks and the whole system switches to just trying to be powered by the solar bank... which is really bad design.

Solar bank takes priority unless its night. Apparently during daylight you dont have enough power for everything which sounds backwards. Check the draw on the solar generator. Make sure you have enough power. Make sure you turn the battery bank off during the day (put this on a timer if you can for night hours). If the solar bank can't cover everything, I believe EVERYTHING fails.
