My power capacity is fine, but it still shows outages…

This is happening to my power, water and sewage, I don’t know how to solve it. My capacity is more than okay but every single building shows an outage (the little red marks)… help

  • The reason for this problem is grid overloads from bottlenecking, it’s part of the new update and means that if your capacity is higher than demand, the grid will end at one spot and give more power than needed and the other houses will not have any. It’s difficult to understand, but an example of fixing it is make a 2 by 2 square of road. Make sure to isolate it from the rest of the city. Put a house lacking power in the middle, then put the power plant next to it on the same road square. Now it should be powered. This shows how the grid isn’t overloaded - spreading power stations may fix this but I’m still troubleshooting.
