ccXanthos Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Suddenly my transittube entry is without power and no matter what i do i can't get it powered any more. Even hooking it up directly to the heavy watt wire doesn't work. What is wrong? Ok found the issue, the automation wire had turned it off. Still i find it strange that it is indicating that it is not powered in such a case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFrancis Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 It also tells you it's not powered if you don't have an access tube hooked up to it. Think of that symbol on a transit tube as a general fault light that just looks exactly like a power symbol, that is totally not confusing at all.

ccXanthos Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 There are symbols for: flooded, broken, no inlet/outlet, no power, no foundation. Turned off by automation is actually the only one that does not have a symbol i think. It would be better not to show a symbol at all as it forces to read the text when hovering over.

SharraShimada Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 3 possible reasons: - you have an automation wire crossing the buildings port, disabling it. - Its the "not recognizing the tube" glitch. If the station thinks there is not tube connected, it will not draw power. Deconstruct the tube entering the station, and rebuild it. - general bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khullag Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 on latest build i have issues with all kinds of sensors - they just do not work for some reason, deconstruct and rebuild usually helps, or reload. this buils is bugged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The batteries look barely charged and the tube access is basically a battery storing charge for 3 dupes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense if you consider that a standby automation signal is supposed to make buildings consume 0 W and as such can be used to control where the power goes and prevent overloading the wire. I think what happened in your case is that you drained the battery (or never charged it) and then you turned off the building. It kept complaining that it needed to be charged in order to be used, but at the same time you told it to not charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
