Electric power pole bug?

Post by Ghoulish »

When you drop a power pole (any type, even sub stations) The tool tip shows electric demand satisfaction as green, even when the poles aren't connected to the main grid.

Is that a bug though? A demand of 0 with a production of 0 is 100% satisfied.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Makes perfect sense.

Wouldn't it be better though for the tool tip to say 'Disconnected from power source' or similar?

Actually, 0/0 is not defined, so there is a case to be made that 100% satisfaction is incorrect.
Can the bar show NaN? :D

Edit: Assuming

Code: Select all

satisfaction = min(1, production / demand)

I, too, would prefer if 0/0 showed as something other than 100%.
