Part 1Here are a series of two demonstrations, in two parts, that show 3 bugs with the new power/cooling grid system.
1. Start a new ship design.
2. Place 2x small power generator on floor 1. Observe the Grid 1 supply value in TW, (150TW).

3. Connect the two power generators together. Observe the Grid 1 supply value in TW, (300TW).
4. Select one power generator and click on "Grid 2". Observe the Grid supply values, (Grid 1: 0TW, Grid 2: 150TW).
5. Draw a power line out from the generator on Grid 2. Observe the Grid supply values, (Grid 1: 0TW, Grid 2: 150TW).

6. Draw one or more power grid squares that are isolated. Observe the Grid supply values, (Grid 1: 0TW, Grid 2: 0TW).

7. Trigger a power grid update, (Click on the power generator assigned to grid 2). Observe the Grid supply values, (Grid 1: 0TW, Grid 2: 150TW).
This process demonstrates two bugs.
1. Power grid updating needs to occur more frequently, especially when more than one grid is present, (Grid 1 remained 0TW because no update was triggered).
2. Isolated power grid squares temporarily set the available power supply to 0.
