[0.10.6] Electric Network info has messed up.

Post by Dilly »

(You may need to open the images in a new tab to see the full image)
Okay, I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I have done something wrong with my steam engines and boilers so I will provide pictures of my current set-up and the graphs.
I started to notice this yesterday. The Production and consumption charts are changing dramatically without me adding or removing anything. I also think that I should be getting more energy out of what I have.

I also noticed that on the last picture the graph as only recently started when I have played around 9 hours of this map.

Lastly I want to provide a picture of what (I think) creates most my energy.

If anyone has fix or could tell me if I am doing anything wrong could you please reply.
Thanks

Power isn't constant, ie some machines will go idle and stop using power(or use considerably less) so that is why you see consumption going up and down like that.

Also, your engines and solar panels are very efficient, they won't generate more power than what is needed.

This all looks normal to me.

Edit: about the graph, I don't think it gets saved. So you'll only see how much has generated since you last loaded the game.

I agree, engines make only as much electricity as needed, you can see, that their animation is sometimes slower and sometimes quicker, depending on how much energy is needed.

About the fact that the graph contains only hour, I don't know what should it be, maybe the network was created recently, or it was connected with some bigger network recently, dunno.

Yeah I recently added the bigger network that is on the image.
Thanks for the help
