Power Draw for Assembler with an Active Production Queue and No Material

Build: 1.210.012 b0 default


I am running a dedicated server and logged in to find that my batteries had all depleted. After a bit of investigating, it appears that the assembler was to blame. I was wondering why it would be drawing so much power without it currently producing any products (I didn't have the resources required to produce the current production queue), but as a test I cleared the queue and the power draw went away.


Not sure if this has been submitted before or if it is a known issue, but I don't remember this being a problem in the past. I also restarted the server and my client and the problem persisted until I cleared the queue.


Thanks!

Did you get this with the (Basic or Large) Assembler? Or the Survival kit?


As I got the same message when testing survival kit power consumption when an item was placed in the survival kit production queue. In my testing it appears the survival kit consumes the max power draw off 200kW when noting is actually produced because of lacking material requirements. When the conversion slot order was removed power returns to normal idle consumption.

I can confirm this happening (in singleplayer) with a smallgrid survival kit, large grid basic assembler and large grid survival kit too. (large grid large assembler not tested due to time limits) It is not just a basic or large assembler. Tested in latest version 1.120.013 today in a vanila Solarsystem on Earthlike world.


First report of this issue I got from a (heavily) modded server (Sigma Draconis DIE-Enduur) shortly after the release of the prosperity update.
