What's happening in my base?

I've been inactive for a few months and reactivated my account this morning. I logged in with my main villain and entered my base only to find that none of the devices are working. I went to pay the base rent and was told that the rent is up to date.

This is a solo SG, so I am the only person with access to the base and editing. Before I took my hiatus from the game the base was working fine and no changes have been made, yet, even though I have enough power and control devices to run the base...no power or control is being produced by the generator or computer.

Did something change in regards to base power and control requirements in my absence?

I have that happen sometimes. What usually fixes it for me is to go into the base editor and move an aux power item slightly, one square over will do it. Then move it back. If you don't have any aux power items, place one and then delete it.

Moving main power items may work too, I just always do the aux since my mains are usually floating and/or buried in a stack of objects

You base may have become bugged, /petition and let a GM know about your issue, they can reset the base, and you will have power once again.

Do I need to be online when they fix it or can they do it when I'm logged out?

AFAIK, you do not need to be logged in.

This happens to me all the time in a couple of my Bases. It's the Power unit that's not waking up after the 6 weeks shut down from not paying Rent. To fix it, you just need to sell your Power unit, then buy it back.

the base I used for the contest had the same problem. Sent the petition, everything was reactivated while I continued to work. Several other bases of mine have the same problem, it's common. no biggie.

Any time I've been gone long enough for the power to go out I usually pay my upkeep and then shut coh down completely... restart it and then log back in this usually gets the power going.
