Power problems

Base_builder_09782 · February 2018

Ok so I'm in creative mode
I've got a HUGE!!!!!! Base
But no power
I've got everything thing in the habitat builder
In multiple numbers
I've got 40 SOLAR PANELS
I've got nuclear reactor and 2 large lockers full of rods I've got a bio reactor that I constantly manage
But no power AT ALL
Can somebody help plz

Also since I have 2 alien containment hubs with eggs and aliens in them
So if there is no power what happens to the things inside
Do they escape??

Is your base damaged somewhere? That'll kill your power until you repair.

Base_builder_09782 · February 2018

Nope!
Or at least not that I know of
I'll try to get a snapshot off my Xbox
But I don't think it will fit

Base_builder_09782 · February 2018

Actually I don't think I'll be able to do a screenshot
Because it's probably too big of a file

It might be worth disconnecting sections of the base from the other parts and powering them individually so you can search for any damaged areas, working gradually across the base until you find which is causing the issue - if at all.

I think power isnt needed in creative (i mean it always enough even if you didnt build power things) , try type "survival" in consol command for change gamemode and your power value will rise acording to power thing you build (but be carreful , hull integrity is also turned off in creative , so if your base is too "weak" , you'll have problem with water flooding when survival turned on , same for power , if you didnt build enough power thing , base will shut down in survival) , but yeah , Hull and power value are turned off in creative , so your solar panel and others things aren't needed (and aren't count).

Think to save your game before try test.

Sorry for my english.

Hmmm well if power is turned off in creative well then why aren't any of my lights on

And how do you open the the console on xbox

Base_builder_09782 · February 2018

Hull integrity is not off because every now and then my base floods
So shadox just remember I'm on XBOX ONE not PC

And obsidian_eclipse my base is WAY!!!!!!!!!! Too big to disconnect like just to put in a moonpool I have to deconstruct 5 tunnels so no I can't do it

I came here browsing for a solution to the same issue (allthough on PC, not Xbox). Made a Creative Mode yesterday just to see how it was and noticed that, allthough you don't need power to use anything, it all acts as if there is no power as in, it's all dark, always, nothing is lit up. Based on what I'm reading here it looks to be a platform independent bug.

That’s what’s happening

Press LB, RB, and A at the same time. Should bring up the console commands.

Base_builder_09782 · February 2018

Thanks I’m gonna play today so hopefully it works

Base_builder_09782 · February 2018

Ummm my max power is: 13650

Base_builder_09782 · February 2018

It didn't work

Mini8495 · February 2018

I seem to have the same problem.
This shouldn't be an issue in Creative, even with multiple moonpools and mothves/PRAWN docked.
I wish you could place light sticks in these places!

Also, I spawned a tree IN THE BASE IN MID AIR seven times trying to get the item.
Any ideas on how to remove it?

First post: Great game, absolutely love everything about it!

Edit: I realize you're on XBox: I'm on MacOSX.

Base_builder_09782 · February 2018

Yeah I think UWE need to fix this problem gamewide
And they should have the option to change power and hull integrity on and off
And there should be a power meter just like in the other modes

Base_builder_09782 · February 2018

Hello is anyone gonna comment because this isn’t solved
I’m also talking to you @Obraxis

I've had the same problem once. I work in creative mode. My base is huge, and a reef back crashed into my central spire and.caused flooding inside. I had to get rid of him with the repulsar canon then repair my base.

Base_builder_09782 · March 2018

Hello? This still isn't solved so someone fix this

Base_builder_09782 · March 2018

Well the only way I know how to not have this problem is using commands so what you do is you go into freedom mode (command: freedom) then you type (invisible) into it then you type (bobthebuilder) then you type (oxygen) then (nocost) after all that you have a HUD that looks just like creative and power is the same as freedom mode so you have the power meter and all that but hull integrity pressure and not being able to use stuff without power are the only Downsides

Have you tried the noenergy console command? I can't be sure it does anything in creative, but if it does, it should help. It may need to be entered a 2nd time to return to normal.

Q_bert · June 2018

I’ve had the same problem. The NoEnergy command does nothing to help the issue. The only solution to power bases that aren’t in the sun that I’ve found is to put a foundation above water in the middle of the map, cover it with solar panels, and create chains of power connectors that go to your deepwater/cave bases. The only way to power a base in creative is with solar panels.

Hunter387 · July 2018

The solution that I found is go in to freedom mode and then wait for the power to generate up then go back to creative this is a reoccurring problem for a lot of people
