Electricity keeps running out under time warp

[mcwaffles2003]

So I have a station and am running TAC-LS and any time I time warp from anything other than that station my batteries completely deplete, though when warping from the station itself they only get as low as is shown in the pic.

This is hurting my gameplay as every time I try to time warp I am stopped due to the life threatening battery depletion.

The only thing I can rule out is the stock game, as it doesn't touch EC on ships not in the physics bubble.

I think your only chance is to drop half your mods, try it and see, and keep dropping half of your mods until it doesn't happen, then you know the culprit is in the half you dropped. then repeat with just those mods until you've narrowed it down to 1 mod.

In all this, keep TAC Life Support installed, as that one is necessary for the test. It's possible that it's the cause, so you may want to try it all by itself first.

It sounds daunting (and it is a bit) but with 75 mods you should be able to find the bad mod in 7 passes.

[mcwaffles2003]

I only bring it up here because my batteries and solar panels on the station are stock and as indicated in the pic the stock batteries are drained and it isnt just a TAC-LS notification, but I will try checking several mods that may be culprits:

Near Future Electrical (NearFutureElectrical 1.1.0)

Near Future Electrical Core (NearFutureElectrical-Core 1.1.0)

TAC Life Support (TACLS) (TACLS v0.14.0.0)

Stockalike Station Parts Expansion Redux (StationPartsExpansionRedux 1.3.1)

I can't remember if it's stock or comes from a mod, but I do have a setting for probe cores "Hibernate in warp", enabling that helps a lot.

It's stock.
But I actually nicked a little MM config from @Alshainthat makes it default because I forgot setting it too often.

//Default Hibernate in Warp to Auto
//Author: Alshain
@PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleCommand]:HAS[#hasHibernation[True]]]:FINAL
{
    @MODULE[ModuleCommand]
    {
        %hibernateOnWarp = true
    }
}

that would help if the station didnt require power other than the probe core (I have a greenhouse and a lab that feed on power)

Just noticed this bit, are you saying if i send out a probe without solar panels it wont run out of charge over long time periods so long as I warp from somewhere outside its physics bubble?

Yes.

And if it has a relay antenna on it it'll happily continue to function for all of that time using 0 power.

Yo Im trying to test this all out while switching out mods but it wont work in sandbox as nothing uses electric charge there, if I go to my career mode campaign am I gunna break it with some mod incompatibility stuff?

Plenty of stuff uses electric charge in stock. Probe cores themselves so long as they're not hibernating, for one.

Only if you don't make a backup of your save. But there's no way to know if you can load it without your own particular set of mods until you try.

[mcwaffles2003]

I'm beginning to think its a problem in TAC-LS, no matter how I change out the mods I am having this problem and TAC-LS is critical in having an EC requirement in the first place

I'm sorry for digging up an old thread, but I found out how to fix this after struggling with it for awhile, and as this thread is the #1 Google result for this problem, I thought I'd add the fix onto it on to here for any future people who are looking for help. 

Even though it's out of date, installing the Background Processing mod works, and will let your electricity producing parts work like they should to keep you from running out during fast time warp.

bro you saved my life, does it work with the latest version? cus my current solution is just to disable kerbals needing electric charge in the settings

for some reason it didn't work, this mod is installed, but the base is still wasting energy

Might just be your energy consumption is more than the input

[Хранитель]

No, as long as I speed up time by watching the base, no energy is wasted
