Heavi-Watt wire inexplicably overloading? [solved]

[Xiphoris]

Hello,

 

The Heavi-Watt wires in my base are inexplicably overloading repeatedly. I've been over every tile of heavi-watt wire and, as far as I can tell, it's pure heavi-watt wire with nothing else attached but transformers.

Are there any tips and tricks I can use to identify whether I've missed a wire somewhere? Or if someone could figure out where I've made a mistake with a bad wiring connection, I would be grateful.

I really wish the game would only "overload" wires that aren't rated for the voltage that's allegedly too high; that would make it much easier to find problem connections and fix them -- instead of it being a mystery where they are.

Are there any known bugs in the game where wires overload when they shouldn't?

Never mind; I'm guessing that the problem is downstream of my transformers in the other circuits.

I thought that "overload" could only happen in distinct circuits, and that part of a circuit connected to a transformer couldn't be affected by circuits on the other side. However since one of my sub-circuits is over its 1kw rating, I'm guessing the sub-circuit's overload is showing up in the heavi-watt wire.

If this is what's happening then it's not very intuitive for me  I wish overload could show up only in the wires that aren't rated for the voltage.

Circuits bafore and after the transformer are treated as different. the transformer divides the circuit into 2.

Overload warning should zoom yu on the exact wire segment that is overloading when clicked. Sometimes it appears that it`s a different wire when it`s a bridge overloading. Bridges tend to overload more often for some reason. I can`t tell which wire segment is taking damage in your screenshots. Without the power overlay you should see a damage bar on the overloading wire.

Your sub circuits are half nromal half conductive wire. I can see at least one place where it will overload consistently. The arcade machine circuit needs a conductive bridge ot you will get overload everytime dupes use it.
