Hello, im running into a problem with my power coils since i moved to Alnitans. The Power Coils show full health bar even if they are completely worn out. Therefore im not sure i have repaired enough until i start seeing gray condition numbers:
This leads to overuse of my spanner and extra durability lost because i have no way to know the status of my power coils.
I did not have this problem when my base was on Alder. This only started after I moved to Alnitans. My friends who also live in Alnitans have the same problem with their own power coils at their own bases.
My beacon is not aligned to any guild and i am the beacon owner so i dont understand why i cant see the status.
I have it on besevroan since i build my base there, back in…January?
I think i filed it as a bug, but it has gone under, like most of my Questions…i wonder…
Sorry, @vdragon, i am unable to find anypost About it. So the shame is on my side
But on besevrona, as mentioned, i am unable to see ALL my advanced Coils wear/tear.
Albeit i got used to repair with one eye on the Right side log.
It is on all of my advanced power coils. I have 24 for every machine. Currently I have extractors, workbenches, refineries, a centriforge, and compactors laid out at different places in Alnitans. I also had the problem with my mixer but I had to disassemble most of it to make room for some storage while I build.
An example of my layout would be 12 at the bottom, making a cross, with 4 in the center, then 2 on left center and 2 on right center, and then 6 in 2 vertical columns on either side of the machine. Machine is configured to be a flat square.
i will show coils in planets where the coils operate normally and on alnitans where they do not operate normally.
my temp machine area in location: Alnitans -917N, 530E, Alt. 49
(i’ll leave them here for at least a few more days, then i will move them up in altitude after i build another floor on this base)
in alder, indicator works normally (no machine at all). location alder 1042N, 2154E, 69
(i will leave it here for a few days in case you want to look at it)
coil from same stack of 16, on the ground in alnitans with no machine it looks like full health. if i pick it up, it still has the yellow bar in inventory and goes back to the same stack of coils that shows wear.
heres Caelishia’s setup… she reported earlier in the thread she was also having the same problem.
her coils are at alnitans also, not far from my base (same town). note that she has a mix of regular and advanced power coils. i use only advance power coils. we are both experiencing the same problem in alnitans.
i followed up with caelishia about the mixed regular/advanced coils on alnitans. she said that the regular AND advanced coils both have the same problem of not showing the indicator correctly. they show blue/full even when they need repair or are worn out.
again, mine are only advanced, and i have the same problem.
As a side note, I have built the machines both starting with them slightly worn, and also fully repaired. Sane issue occurs. The machines do show the correct wear, just not the power coils.
Just curious, by not being able to reproduce, does this mean you had worn out coils on Alnitans and the indicator bar was grey instead of blue?? Any chance you might have visited my refinery that has 24 worn out coils? Was the coils indicator grey to you when it’s fully blue to me?
Is there any other information I could provide about my own situation being different from yours, that might be relevant? Could the regions we are in be relevant? Caelishia and I are on steam and Vanq is on ps4.
The screenshots you showed were exactly what I had when I had my base there. When I picked them up in the inventory they showed worn. When I put them down on another planet same thing.
What I can do is to get a copy of one or two of those worlds and try and reproduce it locally on my end. The bug is logged as mentioned previously, so a software engineer could have a go at it as well.
In the meantime, what happens to the bar when you strike the Power Coils with a tool?
The bar remains full/blue no matter what the durability actually is or if it’s repaired at all. The only indicator that eventually shows/changes is the ‘worn out’ indicator.
