TV4Fun Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 So I have here a circuit which is the output of a transformer, composed of heavi-watt wire, and has exactly nothing connected to it. The game still marks this as strained. How can something with nothing connected to it be strained?

AileTheAlien Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I think it's a UI bug with the circuit overlay right now. Everything attacked to a transformer gets marked as strained. It's supposed to mean that the wires are overloaded / will take damage, unless I'm mis-remembering or mis-understanding the game.

Saturnus Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Strained in the game just means everything is functioning normally but consumption exceeds production on that particular circuit. It can currently only really be used to see if a circuit is a consumer only circuit, or if there's generators on the circuit.
