Connected active grid (building) to test grid - charging station to transformer pylon via two power pylons.

Connected second transformer pylon on test grid to solar panel setup - transformer pylon to transformer pylon.

Any block deleted from any of the grids deletes all of the connections.

Looks bloody fantastic though

Ok, I did some changes, could you test if this still happens? I didn't notice any connection break issues adding/removing blocks from either of the grids. Thanks for the bug report. :)

Хм хз что тут делать!?

English please. Thank you.

Fixed. Wonderful! Thank you.

I am having a difficulty connecting to functional blocks. even tried calling it a dirty name and nothing worked

Continue, or a new bug report?

When deleting cables, the connection remains.

That is, the visible cable is deleted but the connection between grids remains. Power continues to flow and the grids are still considered to be one unit.

The only way to correct this is to reload the world.

Oh, a sub-problem (possibly what Sandman is finding) is that functional blocks that have had the connecting cables deleted cannot be reconnected to anything - as they are still (invisibly) connected to something.

Again, a reload corrects this.

Cheers.

Hm... 🤔I tried to correct this. I'll test some more. Could you tell me the setup for this?

There's some real BS the way 'grid group links' are handled and I'm trying to get to the bottom of this. Sorry for the inconvenience. Keen really didn't make anything easy on us. :(
Connecting grids up is the easy part, disconnecting however is the real f*cky part. -.-

I've played with it a bit and honestly it may be an issue on my end. I'm running on a less-than-ideal laptop and I suspect that the issue may actually be a timing problem. I haven't been able to repeat it in the last 4 hours.

These power lines are brilliant. They make the setup of remote power sources so much easier - and realistic. Please don't give up on them! I'm emotionally invested now ... ;-)

Thank you for the kind words. Keep in mind I updated it a few hours ago so that's perhaps why you can't reproduce, which is awesome then. It probably was my mod having those bugs.

Hi Psycho, thanks for posting the discussion.

This is the log. He simply reconnected to our server, that was still up and running. He reconnected in about 2 minutes, and couldn't join until we removed the mod. I know the cables aren't persistent, but I don't think it should affect if the server was never shutdown?

They are actually persistent, perhaps that's why he couldn't join?
But anyway, would help greatly if i knew what he did to trigger it.

i added it to my world and it crashed when loading.
