Generator bank wiring help
Ok so I have been watching youtube videos on how to run electricity and I have done it in previous builds but for some reason I can't get this to work. I put the generator bank down then a relay nearby and then some electrical fence posts but for some reason no matter what I do none of them are getting power. The generator is full on engines and has gas in it and running. The relay shows 1W but its gray like its not receiving power and the electric fence posts are all doing the same showing their wattage but in gray as its not getting powered. I ran it from generator to relay then from relay to the fence posts..anyone know what could be causing that?

First picture is of just generator to relay and second is all of it wired up.

Are you sure the generator is actually running? Are the engines locked? I would disconnect it from the relay and just hook it up directly to a basic lightbulb to see if it's a problem with the generator or a problem with the wiring.

The lock is showing over the engines once on https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/1011565655647141158/87302D454CC968592F4D9A1324F0115E950018D8/

Weird. Is the lightbulb switched on too? Maybe the game glitched out and needs a restart?

Too many leads to one generator is my guess. Install one or two more generators and try that.
