Some items not receiving power
Some of my electrical items aren't drawing power even though they are connected to a wire and my batteries have enough energy stored, what can I do to fix this as some items will randomly get no power throughout my colony that can cause some issues especially my prison block.

Need pictures and mod list, if any.

Power doesn't transfer through coolers, make sure you have cables underneath them, this is usually the issue when people make threads like this. There's almost certainly a cable (or more) missing somewhere, probably splitting your power grid in multiple sections. Otherwise like matt said we'd need a screenshot, in power mode so we can see the wires.

You don't show any connection between your batteries and the devices having power issues in those screens.

Are you producing enough power? It's possible to make enough power to power some of your items. If new items installed are suddenly not showing connected, usually for me it ends up being a lack of power production

I produce more than enough during the day and have plenty stored during the night, power shortage isn’t any issue and the wires that come out of the batteries all connect around me colony including the problematic items.

Your images don't show the whole power grid. Since your batteries are full, you have enough power.

Therefore, you have missed a connection somewhere.

Probably, I’ll check

Found the problem, apparently one section of my colony is only getting power from one geothermal and not the entire grid. Must've forgot to replace the wires after a short circuit.

So basically you weren't producing enough power ;)

No, they produce enough energy as seen in the battery screenshots. Just that a connection was missing resulting in power from batteries not moving to the blackout spot.
