AragornSG Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hey everyone! I got the game a couple of days ago and I've been greatly impressed with the depth of technical details it goes into. This is the first game which allowed me to troubleshoot issues with the power grid. This brings me to a question: tell me if I'm doing something wrong or is this some kind of a bug. I've been reading and looking at the screenshots past two days and I can't figure out what's wrong. My Heavi Watt wires keep overloading, even though I have no regular wires connected to them, I made the circuit as simple as possible, removed any bridges and still no luck. Also, for some reason the circuit status is showing as x kW / 0 kW . Take a look at the screenshot and let me know if I'm going crazy or is there really something messed up here. Thanks!

Vim Razz Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It looks like you've got a small section of regular wire connecting the left coal gen to the heavy-watt wire. Wire blocks in ONI are only as strong as their weakest link, so that's enough to cause overloads over 1kW. Edit: The 1.03 kW / 0 kW tells you that there's 1.03 kW of load carried by the HW wire block, but 0 kW of your total potential consumers are on the HW wire block itself (ie: it's all on subgrids).

Deconstruct the wire at the power plug and replace it with heavi-watt cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AragornSG Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 I did that and nothing changed. Take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's why I noticed it in the first place. And it was the HW wire that was getting damaged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Yellow means strained. As in functioning normally but consumption exceeds production. Only flashing yellow means overloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AragornSG Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Ok, those were two separate things, which I thought were connected. The problem was that there were thin wires connected to the generator, which made it overload above 1 kW, but the yellow color, which incidentally, also came up above 1 kW, was related to the fact that I was making only 1200 kW with those two generators. I removed the thin wires, added another generator and got rid of the problem. Thanks! Also, awesome game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
