[2.0.14] Fusion generators not getting fluid

Post by studix2002 »

Not all fusion Generators work. in the save i have attached its running this power plant at full speed but not all the generators are working and complaining of "no fluid input" they are connected correctly and the generators after the faulty ones are working but are supplied through the ones not working.

i would expect generators to work from the reactors moving away and if they don't have enough fluid they would then stop working, this appears to be random

Thanks for the report. If i am counting correctly the ratio of fusion reactors to fusion generators is incorrect, each cell of fusion reactors can support up to 108 fusion generators but there are 116 generators built. That means the consumption of plasma is greater than production and so the amount will decrease, at some point reaching a 0. There is no balancing of the fluid across all generators.

I have the same problem, and if it's not a bug, I don't understand Fusion.

I have six reactors. Including the neighboringbonuses, I reach a total outputvalue of 2.4GW. With this, these six reactors should be able to supply a total of 48 generators. However, not all generators are being supplied.

This is my setup:

Additionally, I find it strange that one of the reactors indicates that the output is full, while the directly adjacent generator indicates that it is not receiving any fluid.

I ran into the same problem, but I think it's caused when you connect the output of a generator back into a reactor. Something in the plasma fluid calculations doesn't like this, and it results in some plasma getting lost. Once I redid my setup to make sure that reactors' plasma ports only touched generators' inputs, and not outputs, things started working as expected.

Ah, this fixed it. Thanks! But it is still odd :).

If someone else has problems with fusion reactors, make new report following 3638.
