Power wasted spike after latest update

[sensei_doug]

I'm playing the base game, no DLC, no mods

Wondering if anybody else has experienced this ? Since the update a few days ago, the 'power wasted' on my daily reports has jumped from ~ 100 to over 1000. My steam turbines are accounting for 90%+ of this new wasted power.

I haven't made any changes to the power grid or whatever in that time. Colony run for over a thousand cycles so I have a lot of power wastage history to compare it to,

Has there been a change made to the way power wastage is calculated? Could this be a bug perhaps?

If you upload your save file, someone can check what is going on

Here you go. You'll see the spike I'm talking about in the colony summary screen.

You are right. There was a jump after the update for whatever reason. I don't know which one would be correct but it seems like steam turbines are calculated differently.

Here is my saves before and after the update (testing branch) where there is a jump on wasted power produced by steam turbines:

  

Spacestation 755.sav  Spacestation 756 (U53).sav

I am not sure what is going on but something isn't calculated right...

haaa.... ye.. that doesn't seem right...

 

Spacestation 762.sav

it happens on every new cycle except the cycle you load the game.

I will have to look a bit more to it in order to check if it is only steam turbine that does that but.. yes, it seems like a fresh bug

There was/is a bug with power statistics calculation. The minimal effective solar on the new "Ceres Mantle" start gave me hugely inflated generation statistics until I actually started using the power.
