How to avoid energy stall

[Flynn]

I seem to have a huge problem with energy stall when I play FA for some reason. It always seems like I have to get 3+ engineers on spamming energy because otherwise I have 2 or 3 factories yet it says I'm using like -500 energy or something stupid like that. It seems like energy requirements have been increased 3 fold since SupCom: Original.

yeah...
what shell i say.. build more pgens, sry there are no other ways (hydro)

Start up a sandbox and check the energy requirements of everything you do.

For example, build a T1 factory, produce units, and see how much power the factory uses. - and do this for everything.

Then you will know how much pgens/power you need for everything.

trees, bushes, power spam, power storage(for storing power, not for OC)

Power spam can be way to go if you have lack of micro,
just send 1 engy to spam t1 t2 t3 power and barely assist it, when you feel you will need more power - just send more engyes to assist

Other way your engineers may got f***** by pathfinding(if you attempt to get good ajuscency bonuses), or being idle most of the time - that happening to me all the time

Not sure if power stalling is worse then mass stalling or power wasting, i prefere to be in danger of power stalling, but trying to not waste many power

Power storage may give you GREAT time to react and build more power (turn off shields radars sonars stealth jamming stuff, air production, pause acu upgraide, send some ingeners to forest)
