Power/Pylon/Chaining Issues

[Sovereign]

Basically, I know full well how to set up power and stuff, so basic tutorials, etc won't be helpful.

For some reason, it's like power just doesn't want to travel through pylons or down too many power cable links anymore. I can't chain my water purifiers like I used to, and many of them need to be directly attached to a generator to work. I had a building all powered up properly, changed nothing, and now half the power won't work. Everything is linked up using pylons, but it's like the power just doesn't want to make it all the way. If I rearrange some things so that they get their power directly from a generator, it works. What gives?

Running any mods?

Might have figured it out, not sure. I started playing this when it first came out, and was always under the impression that light bulbs did not use power. Well, apparently they do, and apparently it doesn't tell you that you're low on power in the workshop if they don't have any.

I built a new generator and attached it to the network and all the lights that were off turned on. There was no red indicator in the workshop or anything, and the only things that were unpowered were lights so... weird.
