Personal Storage Vault

I have placed on of these in my base, but for some reason I can't use it.

I had the glitch that stopped my base from being powered but I petitioned that and now this is the only thing in my base that does not work. Any ideas?

Make sure rent is paid. If that's fine petition again.

Guess I will try petitioning again when I get home.

It shouldn't be a rent problem because it is just the smallest size free base and shouldn't even have rent, plus it seems weird to me that everything else still works (like the teleporters and the crafting table right next to the vault which is the whole reason I want the vault lol)

Just to be sure check your power consumption as well. could it be you are just a little over the maximum your generator will crank out... If so some systems may shut down simply because you don't have the power to run them. Also do the same check with your control.. I can't recall if a vault even needs any but if your over your limit there stuff stops working as well.

I think the vault needs 5 of both power and control, so definitely check to make sure you're not over on those. I think there's some sort of priority order to what gets shut off if you're over, maybe teleporters are higher on it and get preference.

Rent is no longer based on plot size. Even the largest plot is rent-free.
Rent is based on storage/workshop items. Go here for exact pricing.

Well, I forgot to deal with it last night, so I will check all that again today. I am pretty sure my power/control is ok because that is something I looked at before I sent the first petition to get everything else reactivated.

The rent change did evidently happen just after I last stopped playing (took a long break >.>), so I will double check that before I petition. Still would be surprised if its rent though, because wouldnt the teleporters/crafting table shut down as well if that was the problem?

And with those new rates, why do they even bother with upkeep... My base is currently just for me and my alts (though I played a ton back in the day so it does have 8 teleporters), and is mostly just storage racks for passing stuff before you could email items, and I still think it will take me less than 20 minutes in SG mode to earn all the req'd prestige for rent, just seems annoying to have to remember to switch modes every once in a while.

[edit] though I think I am also sitting on about 100k prestige, which should keep my rent floating for a ridiculous amount of time even if i don't bother to earn more....

Yes if its a rent issue everything that takes power to owkr would be shut down.. basically they pull the plug. next step in that is if rent continues to go unpaid they shut down the portal and you simply cant get in until you go pay the rent.

if its not rent and its not power or control .. you may very well have an isolated bug. Hope they fix it for you soon.

I sometimes have problems with the vault not working after I lose power and regain it. Usually logging off and back on will fix it but I have, at least once, had to remove the vault and put it back in.
