[Solved]Power grid not working?

[Nevermorre]

I'm still learing but I've gotten a power grid to work before. I know I did not have a Solar Flair when I installed it, I did have one about 15 minutes ago, but I am sure that one has passed as well.

I started with 2 batteries connected to my wind turbines and they filled up just fine. I then made 3 coolers and connected them to the batteries. No power went to them so I thought that I did not have enough stored so I made a 3rd battery and placed it in my freezer right next to my cooler and made sure that was also connected to my wind turbines.

I then connected my wind turbines right to my cooler and nothing happend? I've been messing with it for a bit now and I'm very confused and fustrated. Please help

Might need to click the "Reconnect to power" button for each cooler. (or double click one cooler ot highlight them all, then click Reconnect to power.
It isn't always instant, it can take 30 seconds or more I find.

I just tried that, and it did not seem to work. I did just save and quit to desktop, I'm going to try to "turn if off and back on again." Let's see if that helps.

Probably one of the following:
1- Didn't reconnect manually things.
2- Faulty power grid (missing an conduit somewere).

When you click the Power menu (click it again to see / not see the power grid) you should see all the blue lines connected properly, and purple lines from the devices to the electrical conduits or power devices. If you don't, then some parts of your electrical devices are not being powered properly.


In your picture, make the conduit run through the cooler devices also. This is part of the "there are not blue lines" connecting everything that I mentioned.

It looks like your first cooler doesn't have power because the windmills are not currently working (no wind) and no battery power saved up, but then your 2nd and third coolers are not working because they are not connected to any blue conduits that are connected to your windmills.

(I can almost see a purple line on the 2nd cooler going to the southern conduits, and those conduits are not connected to any power source -- your windmill)

You have to place conduits under your coolers. The power doesn't go through them.

Thank you all for your help, I feel foolish that I did not connect the coolers directly, which was where the break in my power was.

Thank you again

Dont feel foolish. Some buildings bring their own powergrid with them which connects to your conduits automatically if placed near enough.
Since you are still learning you obviously had no way of knowing .

Its still funny though as all of your coolers seem to have connected to the dead conduits on their own. :D
