Some mods in modded minecraft had that and it's a very punishing mechanic unless implemented well.

It eats all of your power and usually also very expensive items very quickly usually. Assume you have like 600RF/tick generated, common with certain generator constellations. 1 tick - 1024 RF and one input consumed, crafting fails due to not enough power. 1 tick wait, 1 tick, 1024 RF and one input consumed, ... This can void 10+ items / second, which can hurt very badly. Even for common items in fact.

It also tends to kick you while you're down, because it only kicks in if everything else is already failing. Then the only thing to continue functioning is the thing voiding your energy and your expensive items. Or even worse, if you did one miscalculation about your power grid, and then all of your resources are gone, often before you can react.

It can be interesting in the right packs, but it is Gregtech level hardness.

Power brownouts are pretty rare outside of the very early game. It's too easy and cheap to massively over produce power for that to really harm players outside the early game so I don't think there'd be much interest. Usually brownouts rapidly develop into full blown blackouts and black restarts as your miners reduce output during the brownout often leading to a reduction in incoming fuel leading to even less power being generated in a self consuming cycle.

Isn't that what spoilage is?

Mindustry has something similar with pumping various gasses/liquids through plumbing. If you accidentally mix them while building new lines, things stop working when your gases get mixed up forcing you to purge the line.

Someone needs to make the whole chip manufacturing process into a factorio like game and let the gamers optimize it, then build the factories around that.
