Me and my friend were playing multiplayer, when all of a sudden, our power went dramatically low. Power production went to 0. And we had like 26 steam engines! Has anyone experienced this before?

Is there fuel for your boilers powering your steam engines? Is your factory consuming more power than your 26 steam engines?

I have a good supply of coal. And Before it happend, my factory was fine

Did you recently upgrade to laser turrets? They take a massive amount of power to actually fire.

Nope, we did upgrade to them but that's not the problem


Also now we are out of water

What?? Water is an endless resource. How can you have no water?

Do you use mods like finite water ? Or small pumps before the steam engines ?

Is the water the same "infinite" as oil? So you get infinit water but less of it by each pump?

Could it be, that some machines suddenly start to work or there are several biterattacks?

Vanilla water is plain infinite. an offshore pump neither runs out of water not experiences diminution of water throughput. It always works full speed.
