Solar Panels - Turning off or vanishing entirely

Ralij

I decided to build a base on the floater island and power primarily through solar panels. I've set up 10 or so solar panels up top. It worked fine initially, but within a few in-game days I noticed my total power capacity had dropped to 200. Every now and then it will drop further even down to shutting off power entirely before the power kicks back in and the capacity goes back up to around the 250-350 range, which is still low for the amount of panels there are. The panels are feeding energy to the base through one of the relay points and all the blue lines connect. I have checked that all the panels are still where I placed them originally so it is separate from the next issue...

Every now and then a solar panel will vanish. This has happened on my original base in the Shallows and on the floater island as well. If it helps the base is located at the cliff facing the shallows, clockwise from the beach a short ways. I've not seen cave crawlers in the area where they are located and they've vanished off of the top of a multi-purpose room as well so I don't think they are getting destroyed.

This is on a save that was brand new after the power nap update.
