Having issues with power

[Kutulhu]

I have items connected power that show the "unpowered" symbol. I can't reconnect them. Re-installing them do not work. Using dev tools to destroy them and create and new one does nothing.

For this stove, everything was fine until a solar flare knocked out power. No big deal, but when it was over the stove never reconnected to power.

Here is a picture of the stove, and my very small mod list.

Any ideas?

1. Check if all your wires are connected.
2. Check if the one that gives power is flicked on.
3. Check if you have switches that are switched off blocking off the power current.
EDIT: 4. As most have mentioned, there might not be enough power sources to meet the demand of your current colony. Try adding more generators and see if that works.
If all things fail, try a dev quicktest in main menu, then devmod. Try recreating the exact setup and see if problem persists. If it does, remove mods till you find out what the issue is, if not, then save game might be broken.

That screenshot of your stove is useless as it doesn't show if there is any spare power in the grid only that it is connected to a grid.

You need to have enough power for your entire grid, or electrical devices will shut themselves off until you provide them power

The screenshot shows that the stove is connected to those cables, but not if those cables are adequately connected yo the power network.
(I did have a whole thing typed out, but the Steam app ate it, so I apologise for the short bulletpoints.)

- if you select the power cable (you may have to click the tile a couple of times if it selects the wall first), does it show any amount of power in the network?
Has someone damaged one of the cables, disconnecting the stove from the generators?
Did the generators run out of fuel during the solar flare, but this detail wasn't apparent until now?

- Assuming there is some amount of power, is the system over-capacity?
If you try deactivating Smelters and Sunlamps in your colony, does anything change (especially lightswitches being turned on as other devices stop consuming power)?

It appears the wall light is working, likely just not enough power for the stove. Add some capacity and you'll probably be fine
