The way the combinator and accumulator receive power makes this circuit not work as intended. They need to be near the power pole receiving power from the steam engine so they continue to function when the power switch is turned off.

  • No, this is correct, and has been correct since 2017. You could move the latch to the steam engine side of the switch, but this is for backup steam. The factory (on the left side) is normally fully-powered by solar. If the overnight loads are too large, the accumulator will drop below 20%, the latch and switch will close, and the steam engines will power the factory until the sun rises.
