Not all lights work in the vault 88.
Strange thing happens when I try to power and light the vault. Only some of lights (lamps) work, mostly wall lights (I was putting different lights right next to the conduit, some work, some don't). The power doesn't go from atrium to the room even though I checked floor connection few times, put a couple vault tech conduits on the wall inside the room. So I got completely confused while trying to understand how it works and what is the problem... may be somebody had similar issue... I tried to look for the same issue on the forum, there are some in the same area (vault 88 is glitchy overall) but nothing I found could solve my problem.

Recap:
1. Not all lights work even if placed next to the conduit (some do, some don't)
2. Power doesn't go from atrium to the room (I used conventional "door to door" way to connect rooms)

You may not have enough power. I had a lot of lights at a settlement and only thing that fixed it was adding more generators in different locations.

Edit: Ahh, forgive me, I should read more closely.

How much power do you have, and how many lights?

When you built the room, did you *start* with the door connection?

Look around your atrium pieces for any that don't make clean corners, they can snap misaligned and won't have an electrical connection.

As I said, I checked connections, and that shouldn't be an issue since SOME lights work, I only started to light up the vault and there's literally few wall lights at the entrance and 150 power from the main generator.

Yes I did use "atrium door to room door" connection. It snapped.

I don't think the 150 power main generator is actually attached to your vault parts, if you want to use it you'll have to run wire.

It is (should work through vault tech conduits https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5yOuZMNVi0). I found the disconnected part. a little glitchy connection right at the entrance... so now I have to move my entire vault by 2mm to resnapp the whole thing... I'm a bit frustrated.

I love Bethesda giving us a dlc that lets us build a vault. I just wish they would have given us one that was easier to deal with. At least they could have given us minecraft tools that allow us to shape the area and make it more even. Or Sims like tools.
