Please use this thread going forward: [ECO] Fuel Cell upgrade doesn't allow normal stove use off the grid | EA Forums - 12206317
@crinrict This is definitely broken and it seems to go hand in hand with the vacuums that also won't work off the grid [OPEN] [BDK] Vacuums Don’t Work Off The Grid - Answer HQ (ea.com) even when given a fuel cell upgrade. An off the grid compatible stove given the fuel cell upgrade should work like a stove that is on the grid once fueled with either biofuel from the insect farms or with bits/pieces from the recycler in Eco Lifestyle. It would appear the entire fuel cell upgrade system is broken in EP 9 (Eco Lifestyle) not sure when it happened maybe with the BTD kit update? I know it worked fine several months ago because I was using the entire system in a historical save. This was a major feature of the Eco Lifestyle pack and it would be nice to see this get fixed. I'm just not sure how to get it more attention.
I found myself on this page after thinking I was having this problem (March 2024). BUT, it turns out "prepped ingredients" was the culprit. Once I un-checked the box, my power generator worked as expected.
hi! also apparently thought i was having this issue haha but need to know what you mean by “prepped ingredients” if you could explain it!! thank you!!
Prepped ingredients is a feature of one of the recent packs. I believe it's the Home Chef Hustle stuff pack. If you don't have that pack, then mirandactyl's comment doesn't apply to you.
