Broken power grids

So I have been messing around with Desert Island West and the settlement is huge. You can basically sit at one end and the other end aint loaded.

With that in mind I tried making three separate power grids for each area. It did not work for @#$%. my defense kept turning off, kept getting messages from Transfer Settlements to fix the grid, but the fix never worked.

I fixed the grid by basically rewiring the entire settlement all over and then a few plots upgraded and the entire grid fell apart again.

Normally this aint much of an issue in vanilla except in Sanctuary, Starlight Drive In, and Spectacle Island.

Some of that is resolved with the Framework and UOF4P forcing all the cells to load. Unofrtunately the VR settlements aint covered in that or havea patch for itself.

So is there any tip, tricks, or mods out there to correct the power grid issues?
 
I’ve run this past kinggath. He says that the fixes he implemented in WSFW for Spectacle Island should work in Desert Island West as well. Perhaps the settlement is so huge that even those fixes don’t work.

All I can think of is to try a settlement in one location only.

Yeah, it either did not work, Transfer Settlements interfered, or some other issue.

I want to go with some other issue because I have broken power grids at Starlight if I place a generator at one end of it. Always been that way since vanilla though.

It was one location, it was Desert Island West. It is so long, if I was to guess it is like six or seven cells long and 4-5 wide.
I had put two Minute Men Artillery at the end of the island kind like old forts used to look over the bays.

The other sections are small and do not have that issue.

Was wondering if any of you techies had a fix, kinda bummed me out after spending two days building to have the grid go to shit.

I started a new project in the mean time, a vault on DIW with a town on top, lol.
 
Sorry man. While I have VR Workshops, I’ve not enabled and tried it.

New game and modding furiously again. :rofl

That is too bad, you are missing out on the island. Especially since you can use Place Everywhere extra objects option to move the terrain around.
