No power in base?

So I took a little break and came back. All of a sudden I have no power in my base. The SG is just myself and my sons, none of us were playing for a bit so nothing changed with the base. I have a basic generator and 2 circuit breakers which appear to be doing nothing.

I tried selling the generator and purchasing a new one, but it doesn't seem to have changed anything. Upkeep is paid, don't see any other issues. Any ideas?

I've had the same problem, actually.

Known issue. If you leave a base unattended for a length of time and the group owes zero rent (ie. doesn't have anything that triggers rent), the base can be locked.

The only way to resolve this is to use petition command.

/petition <description of the problem>

It is a simple fix for the GMs, and is usually fixed the same day.

There is also a non-petition fix for this issue, it just takes 24 hours or so to implement.. I've run into this issue on numerous occassions as I tend to get fixated on a particular server for awhile so then the others get neglected.. anyway, the 'fix' is to merely generate some level of base activity.

For example, base goes dark ( free base - no upkeep that is ) on Monday, enter through an entry portal or emergency beam-in or whatever, then by that time on Tuesday base is up and running.

Have been having to do this for years now so it is a feasible workaround if you can tolerate skipping base use for a day and/or don't want to do a /petition.

Both of those suggestions are good, but keep in mind that sometimes it simply takes a bit before your base rent kicks in. I've had it take upto an hour or two and sometimes even relogging works for some reason.
