everything was going great until I bricked my save file. there is a side story that needs you to turn off power consumption for 2 minutes. The problem is once either power option is turned on, it refuses to disable itself even if you click it again, hitting either option turns your power to max or like 9999 permanently. Since you can't back out of side stories until they are completed and side stories are required for progression. Going into the one that needs you to disable power bricks your save. I would appreciate a speedy fix.
Try this:
-Disable all power cheats
-turn off one of your radio repeaters
-wait for timer to expire
-turn repeater back on
-reactivate power cheats
Worked for me. You may need to buy a new repeater after disabling the power cheats to get it to work. The idea is that turning off the repeater with the cheats disabled causes the power usage to go negative, which causes the game to freak out and think the power is offline, thus allowing the timer to complete.

Sorry, but once you hit "unlimited power" (numpad3) the power is set at 10000 permanently. You can run the game without the trainer and it still will be at 10000 power.
Now, I'd like to know if the staff wants us to request this reset as a "request new option" or will it be addressed in some other way?
I fully understand 0x90 can't possibly play every game to uncover every unforeseen problem a trainer option can cause.
While awaiting any clarification, I thank you for the time and the produced trainer
Cheers
It worked for both me and Iceprince. Like I said, the idea is not to exceed your power generation, that is impossible with the permanent 10k power. Instead, you trick the game because when you turn off that repeater with the cheats off, your power usage goes from 0 to -6, which makes the game freak out and think the power is offline.
So you have to turn every thing else off? my current power ussage is 1600 or so. Just needs to be an option to seet power generation to 0.
Does the 'no power consumption' option cause the same issue as 'unlimited power'? I've got a save I don't mind messing up so I'll give that a try. It may be what you need. I still get notifications about 'not enough power' when I build something but everything actually works when I use 'no power consumption'. But I haven't reached either of those side quests while using that option.
Okay so I tried this. When I loaded my game back up, it still had no power consumption even though the option was off. I picked an empty weapon rack and powered it off. That took my energy consumption into the negative. When I powered it back up, my energy consumption went back to "no power consumption" so it seems like this should work for those side quests. I won't reach either of them for a bit so I may have an update later.
Ok got it to work using number 2.
Ah yes, I should have clarified that you have to use the "no power consumption" option to set your power use to zero, then turn both power cheats off to make my workaround actually, you know, work. It wont work if you're only using the unlimited power cheat because your power usage will still be vanilla, so even if you turn off everything in the whole base you wont get to negative power
