Verify files to force update.. it just got second hotfix.. should be fine now finally

I just verified files and the incinerator is still at 0% production even though it says its "operating without issues". Fully staffed, full of mixed waste, has an output that works.

PErhaps there is no need for the electricity it produces? Waste to energy and waste to heat plants only burn enough waste to meet demand, no more.

If you depend on the incinerator to burn your waste, I would recommend conecting it to an electricity export line through a priority switch. That way there is always a demand for the produced electricity.

Waste to energy is honestly kind of a boondoggle. If you don't have problems with waste not getting burned due to lack of energy demand, you'll have brownouts when your waste runs out, even if your overall power network capacity is plenty large without the incinerator. This problem can be ameliorated with a priority switch, but that requires all producers to be upstream from the switch and all consumers downstream, which puts everything through one chokepoint. It's just not reasonable if your power plants are spread throughout the republic.

In the end I'll never build a power incinerator again, regardless of any bugs there may or may not be. Electricity is WAY too cheap for me to bother dealing with all these problems.

You just need to treat waste power like you would renewable power sources.
