Power Generators Not Working?
In this last update I've been having more problems than usual with power production modules not working properly. It's not uncommon that I'll enter my base to find varying amounts of power supply available without having changed any of the power production modules. For example, having 6 solar panels on my base, I should have 300 max energy on the base but sometimes I'll only have 250 or even, randomly, 275. It's like the modules are glitching out and the base is not recognizing that they are attached. Thermal Plants are particularly egregious in this, particularly in causing the odd max power level (25 increments when only 50s should be possible). Even now when I should be at 600 max energy I've seen it go as low as 475 max.

Power generation doesn't feel as high as it should either. Initially I built 4 Thermal Plants, I see blue lines connecting them all to my base and I was very happy with power generation. Now, I still see the blue lines, but power production is incredibly slow. Often it feels like Bioreactors give negative energy production too. My base is currently on top of the vent at (20, -20, 240) with a piece of the base stretched all the way down to the cave using vertical pipes to allow me to quickly decend and mine as well as get Thermal Plants.

Currently my base should have 600 maximum energy with:
6 Solar Panels
4 Thermal Plants
1 Bioreactor

Active energy useage that I can think of on my base:
1 Water Filtration
1 Battery Charger
1 Power Cell Charger

I also have:
2 Moonpools (both Seamoth and PRAWN docked)
2 (3) stack Alien Containment

Currently my energy production is practically 0 during daytime. Standing in my base, I'm at 450/600 and it is bouncing up and down between 449 and 451.

Any explanations on what may be causing additional energy drain on my base that I'm not thinking of? My power generation during the day should be at least 350/min without the Bioreactor running. Even at night I should get at least 200/min with just the Thermal Plants but it doesn't feel like it.

Nice set up but you power should work good try resetting the Solar panels on the same platform that your thermal generators hook up to I found the trying to get all your power coming from one single platform helps with this glitch

I was running basically eveything you have except only 2 levels on the containment. All I was using was 2 x Thermal and 3 x solar.

Started a new game after the last update seeing if anything has changed
