No power to base notification message bug

YolDovah

Ok I'm new here so I apologise if this as been asked an answered but as stated the power to base and no power to base messages keep popping up even though my bases are all powered and I've got no idea how to disable subtitles/notifications.

My sanity would be very thankful for any help.

Ps I'm on Xbox and I've tried reloading.

That usually means that you have something hooked up to the base that exceeds the power supply, so the power comes on, and is immediately drained. The repeating message issue has been fixed in the latest updates, once those hit XB1 you should be good.

Meantime, add more power. Things that take a lot of juice: empty Seamoth or PRAWN docked in moonpool. Water filtration machines. Spotlights (those little suckers might as well be industrial laser cutters or something, they pull waaaay too much power).

Only thing i got draining power would be the power cell charger thats in my second aka dont drown pod thats near the blood kelp trench.

Anyway thanks i guess for now i better add a few more solar panels or do all the charging at my main base which technically aint even a base.

FYI, solar panels are less effective at greater depths. So it might be that.

The first base or storage as it's basically just lockers full of resources is located under pod 5 at about 15m and the second is located on a rocky outcropping about 5m from the surface i do have the bio reactor blueprint but i got no idea how to use it so currently i'll be locating my bases within a 50m depth margin.

How often are the messages repeating? Does either base turn off lights when you get the message? Is it possible you have a 3rd, forgotten base?

Bioreactor is built in a multipurpose room, which also requires a blueprint to be found. You can find the blueprint in

abandoned bases - scan the large, circular room.

Bioreactors don't provide energy very quickly, so a large power drain would take multiple to support. I recommend keeping a growbed or alien containment(breeding aquarium) to supply fuel for bioreactor. otherwise you'll wipe out the nearby fish and plants.

That ▲, and, the higher energy bio fuel you put in, the more energy you will get from it. A Creepvine sample (not the seed that you pick up with your hand, the plant itself that you get by cutting it) will only last a very short time, but Lantern Fruit will last quite a bit of time.

I found out what the problem was and it was the water filtration machine in my 2nd base well a combination of that and the powercell charger draining the only solar panel i currently had attached.

so with me playing on freedom i just removed the machine but also added more solar panels.

Base wise i got most rooms im just looking for the moonpool.

ive got the prawn an the cyclops now i just need to upgrade both.
