I was trying to turn Starlight into an industrial powerhouse, but the more I built the further negative me steel and oil net change went (I'm playing on Scrap Components). I finally realized my turrets were eating a ton of resources, so I scrapped all of them. That got me from around -3000 to approximately -500 steel, and I couldn't figure out what was eating that 500 so I just kept scrapping and scrapping trying to figure it out. Eventually I ended up with a completely empty Starlight Drive-in and I still had a lot of resource consumption.
Screens before and after with resource consumption:
I've done a lot of troubleshooting so far but with very little luck. I've gone through the menu options and turned all of the operating costs to off and it did not help. Perhaps I need to wait longer for it to reset, but turning on/off the operating costs in the Mod Config menu actually didn't seem to do anything to my resource consumption. Starlight is connected to my other settlements, but only with vanilla supply lines, and the screens show the resource consumption is coming from Starlight. I do have a long mod list, but I would think since this is an SS2 mechanic most mods shouldn't affect it. I inspected my save file and there were no defects and between 3-10 active scripts from my several most recent saves. In general the game is running quite smooth and even with 29 pops everything else at that settlement seems to be working exactly as intended.
If I switch to scrap categories, everything seems to fix pretty much everything. I am really enjoy the difficulty and balance of Scrap Components though and would like to keep playing that way. After searching the forum, I also saw a relatively recent post about settlement objects breaking for no apparent reason. Perhaps my issue is related to that issue?
