Freighter Planter bug?

[25fps gaming]

So i was trying to setup a freighter plant farm and while putting down the 4 piece planters, about half of them dont have power. i did do the bug where with the wall planters you put lights on them to power them but i cant seem to do anything with the planters, no wires or anything to try and power them up. anyone know how to fix this and or will it get fixed soon?

There was recently a topic about this. It has to do with placing the planter perfect, certain parts of the floor don't provide electricity for some reason. I think I read if you use the individual planters there is no problem.

You can use wire on freighter rather than using the lights. I use an xbox controller on my PC & it's holding left trigger while in build menu, brings up - colour item, wire, delete, report base.
Also, why bother, the planters respawn the carbon if you move far enough away from them on foot; or if you move the freighter.

when i try to make a wire it gives me the error of "base out of range" so i can't use wires anywhere, the planters on the wall, 4 piece planters, or the lights bug to power the wall plants

This is happening to me also. Want to get my Farmer John going, can't power the trays.

You need to basically rip out all curved corridor sections and replace with T junctions, curved sections don't conduct electricity due to a bug

Or when placing them use "R" to rotate so plugs are in correct direction to connect to the next one... Your welcome...

All you need to do is move the offending unit a space toward the back of the room.

Just place a light on them then. That also works.

Or just rotate them correctly?? There is no bug, placement is important. When I build my farms fast some of the planters rotate on their own, easiest way to fix it to remove and replace planter in correct direction...

I have several of the large planter boxes on my freighter and they all have power no problem. I think I used two large freighter rooms to make a larger open space and placed all the planters in a continuous row along an outer wall. Not sure if they got power because they are all in a row or against an outside wall, but it is worth a try.
