I noticed that sometimes when I place down my fusion power blueprints, not all the generators receive plasma.

This is despite it being a working blueprint, and the same blueprint next to it (or on a different planet) will work fine.

This bug report may also be similar to viewtopic.php?f=7&t=124569 - but again not sure.


Examples:

Here is a fully working setup, where all generators are working and it outputs 8.5GW as all is legendary:



All of the reactors are spinning, and they all seem to output the same and balance the load equally throughout.

Here is the exact same blueprint, but on Fulgora. The bottom left section of generators are NOT working and state they have no input fluid.


What I thought happened here is:

• I stamped down the BP

• Not enough generators were available to build with

• I added in fluid to the reactors

• Later on the remaining generators were placed down (The bottom left ones were the last to be placed)

However, I tested this again with a fully build BP BEFORE adding in the fluid, but I got a different result...

Now the top left section states no input fluid, and the bottom left is fine.

Given that this is about fluids which i am not a maintainer of right now, i do not exactly know what could be happening here, but my eyes are directly drawn to some similarities in this build and 122346 where fusion generators are connected in a way that allows plasma to go back to reactors. I will ask raiguard to take a look at this and the other topic (because of which it is possible this bug report may be marked as duplicate if the issue happens to be the same).

I also created this video, in the video I deleted a non-working generator, and then re-added it.

This seemed to make it worse and stopped several generators next to it from working, when they were previously working.
