[2.0.28 Space Age] Roboports losing power causing game UPS to drop to less than 1 or crash/freeze..

Post by PandaLabs »

For context I run with no Mods, Pure Vanilla Space Age, I have visited Gleba, Vulcanus, and Fulgora. I have 10 space platforms.

1. What did I do?
Left my base running overnight to let construction bots clear out a large space. My turbines/heat towers ran out of fuel, meaning only solar was powering. I have around 200k Logistic bots and over 40k Roboports. They obviously couldn't keep up and base runs out of power at night.

2. What Happened?
Every night, when the power drops again, the game completely freezes or crashes. Consistently. I loaded the save before the power dropped 4 times and it still freezes. It crashed the first 3 times and the 4th I waited through it for a response and got a UPS of 0.3.

3. What did you expect to happen?
I know having a lot of bots is not great for UPS but the factory normally runs at about 30-45 UPS consistently with everything running around. This game freeze has completely stopped me from being able to play though. Not sure why this is happening now since I have had power drops in the past but been fine.

4. Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
It happens consistently about 5-7 minute after loading the save(That's when night hits).

The solution is to make more power or don’t have them work overnight. Roboports losing power while there are active robots in the air is expensive CPU wise to handle and you’re getting to experience the worse of it.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
