I am in map editor and having armor with portable fission reactor and personal battery MK 3

I sped up to 64x speed and battery charge is 0%

"I sped up to 64x speed and battery charge is 0%"... for how long?

Any way, my guess would be that it takes quit a while to charge all the discharge defenses (if that's what it is?) and shields, and they would be charged to full before the batterys starrt to receive any charge.

That was my guess as well.
However I went to try to find out the number of defenses & shields it can support and that number is undefined.

There seems to be no grid electricity in the editor mode at all.

You need to unpause the game in the editor for the grid to update and produce energy.

I do have it unpaused.
Unless there are two ways to facilitate pausing and the way I am doing it (which allows game.tick to advance) is not enough.

Code: Select all

1562.763 Script log("tick=" .. game.tick .. ", batteries=" .. g.available_in_batteries):1: tick=1723251, batteries=0
1563.684 Script log("tick=" .. game.tick .. ", batteries=" .. g.available_in_batteries):1: tick=1726493, batteries=0

In your first screenshot it shows the map editor having time paused.

Your screen shot says it's paused. The speed section in the Lab controls says "x64 (paused)"

You have to push the play button that's just below that label to unpause it.

I am aware OP's screenshot indicates paused time. That's why I tested it myself.

Here is the result in editor mode, unpaused time:

Code: Select all

 175.434 Script log("tick=" .. game.tick .. ", batteries=" .. g.available_in_batteries):1: tick=1762634, batteries=0
 178.777 Script log("tick=" .. game.tick .. ", batteries=" .. g.available_in_batteries):1: tick=1776881, batteries=0

Editor mode, paused time:

Code: Select all

 234.772 Script log("tick=" .. game.tick .. ", batteries=" .. g.available_in_batteries):1: tick=1786335, batteries=0
 239.909 Script log("tick=" .. game.tick .. ", batteries=" .. g.available_in_batteries):1: tick=1786335, batteries=0

Player mode:

Code: Select all

 270.598 Script log("tick=" .. game.tick .. ", batteries=" .. g.available_in_batteries):1: tick=1786561, batteries=102543734.21701
 273.087 Script log("tick=" .. game.tick .. ", batteries=" .. g.available_in_batteries):1: tick=1786710, batteries=170150001.46628

I see now, it was broken. It's now fixed for the next release.
