Power Storage, Solar, and Fuel Generator Status

Power Storage: reload before diagnosing the cap

The Aug 18 developer update fixed a case where the Energy Storage talent did not apply immediately after loading a save. The visible electricity panel could therefore show too little storage and reduce stored electricity until the fix was applied.

• Update the game before comparing the panel with an older save.
• Load the save again after the update, then inspect the electricity panel.
• Do not treat one old panel reading as a current universal capacity.

Solar and fuel generator: current fixes are narrower than a build guide

The Aug 17 update says the initial large solar panels at the College Student's Home now match panels of the same specifications and that dismantle returns were aligned. It also fixes the fuel generator Auto-Start switch status when batteries are lacking.

• Compare like-for-like solar panels after updating; the note is about the initial large panels.
• If Auto-Start looks wrong while batteries are missing, update before changing the whole setup.
• A generator status fix is not a published fuel-consumption or uptime guarantee.

Still missing: the numbers needed for an optimal grid

The checked official notes do not provide a complete table of battery capacity, panel watts by weather, generator fuel rate, appliance draw, or a tested wiring layout. This page therefore records status and troubleshooting boundaries, not a best-power blueprint.
