hard to see in your screenshot, but at the end of the cable do you have a Electrical Outlet?

[Remzyrc]

yes

[Remzyrc]

Ive been playing the game for a while so I dont know what it could be

[Shadows]

only think I can think of is run cables so the Electrical Outlet is closer to the crafting stations that need power.

[Remzyrc]

yeah its not giving any power but it has power

[Shadows]

Do you use any mods that could change how it works?

I normally play with S+ and the mod greatly increases the range the Electrical Outlets can provide power so I don't remember what the base distance is, but think its only a few foundations.

[Remzyrc]

yeah im using a few mods s+ is one of them

Did you place the generator and outlet after the fabricator? I find often items which use electricity will not power if you add it to them later, you have to pick up the fabricator/refrigerator/whatever else and place it down again to make it update and realise power is available nearby.

I am assuming then everything is S+, in which case try picking up the outlet and putting it back to reset its connections

Since you ambiguously said "mods" list all mods by name and in their specific load order as there could be conflicts going on.

Also, and this may sound cliche, but do you actually have the crafting stations that need power and your lights actually switched on?

if you are using an s+ outlet switch it to normal since those tend to get really buggy sometimes

touching water or really close to water level?

I am not familiar with the S+ mod ... so my question might sound silly, sorry: when replacing the power outlet by a new one, how would that influence the fabricator? In vanilla game, the fabricator as well as the industrial grill are powered by adding gasoline, not electricity. Is this different in S+?
