Batteries built from projectors start with zero stored power.

Won't Fix

Just as the title says. Building a battery from a projector in survival mode starts it at zero power.

I have the same bug

I should also add that this happens when using ANY welder or ship welder. If it came from a projector, it will get no power.

But placing a battery by hand correctly gives it its 10% or so initial starting power.

Can't replicate this, did you build it fully before looking at the power? Because it is at 0 while it's in construction mode but once it's finished it gets charged to whatever the starting percentage is.

EDIT: Hmm, creative tools seem to cause it to spawn with 0 power, normal survival welding does not.

I've tried it with and without creative mode tools, and in a survival world. I also started a modless fresh world to do these tests. It's very consistent for me.

I've looked at the code, it sets the power to that pre-charge percentage when it changes functional state (from build stage to full model and vice versa, red line in the build UI).

So whatever you're doing is skipping that step. Building it from projection to with creative tools makes sense to break it as it never gets created in build stage in order to hook that event (which is a bug and should be also fixed).

You could record a video of how you're doing it, preferably with as little steps and short video as you can :P

Hello,

I was able to reproduce and report the issue with creative tools but I am unable to reproduce it without them either. Could you provide exact steps to reproduce it even without them (in ideal case with attached world or blueprint)?

Thank you.

It appears that you guys are right. Having creative mode tools on seems to be what causes this.

I thought I checked for this at first, but after testing again it's clear.

Hello, Engineers!

We are no longer able to reproduce this issue on newer game version.

Will close this thread.
