Xenon Solar Power Plants don't produce any energy cells - Modded save.

[Gangfreak]

Hi,
sorry if this is already reported, but I couldn't find any posts.

I resumed an old savegame (about 2 years old) and realized that something is wrong with the Xenon.
They don't seem to be producing ships anymore.
After checking, I found that the solar power plants are no longer producing energy cells.

A note: I was using mods when I discovered this problem, but even after disabling them all, the problem persisted.

In the link you find the savegame and a screenshot

Disabling mods doesn't remove all of their effects from the game. A modified game also makes it hard, if not impossible, for us to see what might have gone wrong, as we've no way of know what those effects are.

There are many possible reasons why a particular faction's stations may be unable to produce, but unless you can reproduce this in a game that is actually unmodified, we're probably not going to be able to track down whether your particular case is a "normal" one or not.

The xenon stoage is full.
The solar cells are labelled in orange
Waiting for free space

With a vanilla container size of the Xenon, it often happens that there is no more space available, as they are universal storage units.

Code: Select all

     
       <macro name="xenon_small_station_01_storage_01_macro" class="storage">
       ... 
       <cargo max="250000" tags="container liquid solid" />

The universal cargo hold size of 250000 seemed to me to be too small for the Xenon from the very beginning. And that's what I also observe, that the cargo space is completed even before the solar module has been started, this can happen to the player as well as to the AI factions. here it happens to the Xenon that automatically sets the cargo space distribution as here the distribution to 50 / 50 ore and silicon, because of the demand for defense drones and repair drones.

A possible solution, not a suggestion. A container Storage for the Xenon is needed.
