Impossible to respawn when only extension has energy
-
Hi, Today I run into this problem. Every unit of mine is killed by the source keeper (I am not quite sure. But they are all gone). Except for some energy in the extension, there is no energy for me to use elsewhere. The problem comes...
The spawn doesn't regenerate energy as it usually does. I have to remove all extensions that have energy inside to make the spawn regenerate again...
Is this an intentional design or a bug?

You were probably attacked by invaders, not by source keepers. Invaders show up randomly (but averaging out every 100k energy harvested in the room).
The spawns only generate up to 300 energy available in the room. If you have 300 energy in extensions already then the spawn isn't going to generate anything.
If you are seeing something else please post a link to the room history.

It also should be no problem.. you don't need energy in the spawn if you have energy in extensions... all "spawn energy" in the room is shared... and as tedivm said free energy is only generating up to 300 energy.. so make sure you spawn small worker in such emergency situations.
