evilphish Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Version? 41.68 • Singleplayer/Multiplayer? Multi • Host or dedicated? Hosted • Mods? No • Reproduction steps: Connect two popsicle fridges and a couple of lights. See attached image. Generator total fuel consumption is way higher than the sum of the listed appliances. Have been monitoring over more than one in-game week and the generator actually consumes the higher total amount. I tried uploading a screenshot or inserting from URL but the indie stone forums hang and then after a while return an error so I uploaded the screenshot of the consumption here: https://phishtank.de/~evilphish/generator.png Mork and Pandorea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandorea Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Generator info panel is a little bugged in that it does not show all connected devices - leading to issues such as you describe. This is a known issue but a little bit bigger and requiring more work so it will get fixed just not any time soon. Mork 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty83 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Also I had a question about the generator. It seems like turning on/off lights in a house doesn't change the power draw listed on the gen, is this a bug, intentional, or simply a planned feature that's not finished yet?

evilphish Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) @PandoreaThere seems to be more at play here than a simple display problem. I have two popsicle fridges connected which gets listed as "Popsicle Fridge X4 (0.32 L/h)" which is correct but the overall summation yields 0.59. If I remove one popsicle fridge, it tells me "Popsicle Fridge X2 (0.16 L/h)" which again is correct but this time the overall consumption reads 0.18 L/h (also 2 lights connected listed as 0.004 L/h so it does not quite add up but it has not been a big deal as of yet). If I put up the second popsicle fridge again, then turn off and turn on the generator, it reads again Fridge X4 0.32 L/h but overall consumption is back again at 0.59 L/h. Since the generator actually consumes 4 times the amount of fuel when the fridge count is doubled this leads me to believe there might be a calculation error somewhere. I currently lack a third fridge but I will look for one and try out three fridges. **Update: Found a third popsicle fridge. If set up in addition to the first two, it reads "Popsicle Fridge x6 (0.48 L/h)" but Total consumption reads as a whooping 1.3 L/h and the actual gas usage of the generator goes through the roof accordingly. I think this is more than just a display error. Edited March 25, 2022 by evilphish Update Pandorea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilphish Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 Update: Even after completely dismantling everything including the generator and then setting up the generator and the popsicle fridges again, the issue still remains. So I guess this is not just a one-off glitch Pandorea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
