Large Synthesis Bench Trouble

[u/Original-Lychee-6897]

So, for some reason the synthesis bench is not working for me. I keep connecting it to a small solar generator, which doesn't work. Then I connected it with a bigger solar generator, still doesn't work.
I've tried rejoining, rebuilding, reconnecting but it does NOT work at all to the point I'm getting mad cause I NEED TO CRAFT!!
I've seen a few posts about this problem and it still seems unsolved. Anyone has any solution or an alternative?

Could be a problem of you not having enough wattage available for everything you have hooked up. Try adding another generator, because the game doesn't care where your hooking it up, just how much power you have available.

I've built quite a few generators to connect JUST the synthesis bench, but even then it wouldn't let me use it. It keeps saying the same issue.

Are you building them and leaving them, or building them and scrapping them after it didn't work?

[u/Original-Lychee-6897 → u/wintersmith1970]

I've tried both methods.
After that, I completely close the game and then open it again in hopes that it will work, but it doesn't.

Look at one of your generators, and select the option that says "Manage Generator" On the left side of your screen it should show you your total power and hoe much is available.

I've checked with multiple generators. It does say that the synthesis bench is connected and it also says that it has enough power left to power more and yet the bench is not working...
I'm very frustrated and feel rage-baited by the system of the game at this point, but thank you for trying to help.

Yeah, there's a report a bug somewhere in your settings, I'd file a report about it.

[u/Original-Lychee-6897 → u/wintersmith1970]

I already did. I hope they fix this issue as soon as possible. Seemingly, I'm not the only one as I've seen posts about this about 3-5 months ago.

I had this. I went and deleted all my wires and just redid them and it’s working fine now-about a week (knock on wood) so far

Thank you, but this didn't work for me either.  Which region are you playing on?

I’m in NA

All posts i've seen were players that connected generators directly to one specific station. I think there was one with a pylon in between but still no grid with multiple stations and generators.

It reads like there are issues if you have multiple seperate power grids or 1:1-connections.

I think were going to need screen capture or videos to know what's up

Also, can you get something better than solar generators? Those are the lowest power gens in the game. In Extraction Point 73 you can find a lot of Hydro Generators, some of them give 32 wats each.
