automation power shutoff not working properly

I had trouble with this the other day too.  I think it gets confused if the power line does not actually run all the way through the shutoff to something else.  Make sure your power lines are complete.  Even after I did that I think it still wasn't behaving right until the automation wires changed state once or twice, then things sorted out.

 

if so then rebuilding should have fixed it at first try. But confused or not, this is a bug. it shouldn't be fixed by the way I play but by game developers.

anyway I bumped against this again.

So here is another save

problem with the automation of the power shutoff sometimes start with a new build but also when I load the game the issue is also present even though it had been working fine for over a 100 cycles. the game was unpaused and already running a full cycle. it really is starting to bug me

I have the same issue, can post saves/screenshots. This is the first time I come across this but many of my power designs rely on this tool. In my case automation signal is red but shutoff stays connected, leading to overloads.

Here is a link to the same issue, with links to more reports as well (placed here for cross referencing).
