[solved] Maximum energy storage capacity dropped to zero

Post by Clandestine »

One city, one zone, no negative effects on shq.
Maximum energy storage dropped from a couple hundreds to about 150 at some point. Still early in game I wondered what happened but couldn't figure out so I continued.
Turn 83, the maximum storage capacity for energy dropped to absolute zero, and though I tried hard to beeline to power banks from the start, I'm not there yet bc of development speed on slowest.

Is it a bug or have I made a mistake?

Check the zone stocks. If energy storage is not needed locally, storage points are shared with SHQ, otherwise zone retains them and uses for stockpiling locally consumed power.

Thanks for replying, but I'm not sure I can follow you, but here is my item view if that is what we are looking for. Still it shouldn't say maximum storage capacity 0?

If you mouse over the energy stock number in that tab, the tooltip will tell you how much of its energy storage capacity the zone contributed to the SHQ. If the zone requires all of its energy storage to cover local needs, the contribution to the SHQ can be zero, and if that is the only zone, the SHQ won't be able to store any energy.

Thanks, I just moused-over the energy stock number. However I can't find any indication about how much capacity it contributes to the shq.

Is there somewhere else I can find this information? It still seems very bugged to me.

"Bugged" means something is not functioning as intended. In this case there are no bugs. If zone provided storage points to SHQ, this tooltip would say it.

Thanks, now I see it.
Usually the game shows 0 values in tooltips as well, like the shq maximum energy storage capacity for instance. So I was confused not being the case here.
I flagged the post as solved.
Thanks for the help guys.
