Hey, is anyone having issues with things loosing power in your settlements randomly? I built about 74 large water purifiers at the massive settlement and have all the power generators needed. Everything was powered for a couple of night and then all of this sudden tonight half of my purifiers just lost power. The only way to get some power is, to hook up generators direcly next to each powered item. I don't understand why all of this sudden half of my stuff stopped working. It happens with other things too like lights, and I noticed one of my cables even disappeared in another area.

Originally, I created a huge warehouse for all my power generators and ran conductors to each water purifier. It worked well for weeks until tonight when the above issues started occurring. Maybe I broke the game because I play too much lol.

Any thoughts peps?

Thanks

I've had this occur as well, but only with powered objects that are connected through pylons and conduits. For my essential objects like water purifiers, I give them their own dedicated generator that is hooked up directly.

But I have returned to my settlements to see lights and spotlights no longer turned on despite still being hooked up. (It seems particularly frequent with spotlights, which will still be rotating, but there won't be a light on.) If I store them, them put them back and hook them up again, it usually fixes the issue temporarily.

Yep my spots do that all the time as well. My ceiling fans also act strange. Sometimes they are turning some times not, the light will be on even though the fan is stopped so I know it still has juice. Anything to do with Settlements is buggy, items can be placed on a table then the next time you are there they have fallen to the floor. Some Settlers assigned to stores never seem to work their store. If you have walls around your Settlement Settlers and Provisioners refuse to use the gate and just keep trying to get into or out of the area by walking through walls. Raiders spawning inside your walls. All kinds of little things that they really need to get fixed.

You may need to check the generators and power pylons to make sure they don't need repairing. If the settlement gets attacked and you don't show up, some random stuff will get "damaged" even if your defenses wipe the invaders out. Every time I have seen my generator need repairs, I also have damaged crops and turrets and my settlers keep talking about repelling attackers.
