what generators / pumps are you using? be sure they match up with the requirements

I've done big water farms without a problem, I slowly built each pump / generator in sync so I didn't lose track of the power requirements

which is fine for a standard settlement, but water farming is the best way to trade for what you need to buy is why we do these large farms of it

I need it mostly for buying settlement materials, I can literally buy out every junk item at every trader

are they damaged?

Make sure the generators are on, which they are by default, but one can disable them and if you did this then you'll have to turn them back on. It's the same with the pumps. They are on by default but can be disabled, too, iirc. If that's not it and you are sure the wiring is sound then you may have a bad mod installed.

That's a pretty retarded power grid. I see a problem, that bottom corner one has no wire.

Opps, different poster to pictures. lol. Anyway, is this on spectacle island by chance? You need power on the same "half" as the purifiers.

wow hard to say, maybe the game itself gets Confused about that many Generators/connections and Pumps - Hope you dont mind if i ask if you tryed punch up a single Generator on console and put it on the Grid? (wold maybe show some missing conection)
If you Playing on colsole or dont want to tuch it nevermind my comment ;)
