PowerBloc Did Not Charge Overnight

Last checked: · UPDATE 049

Direct answer

UPDATE 049 fixes PowerBloc not charging adjacent batteries and machines on the first night after power is enabled or Powerline Hijack is purchased. The note establishes that specific correction, not a universal charging radius or unlimited output.

Check the documented setup

Confirm that power is available and the intended batteries or machines occupy the adjacent arrangement described by the device. Power Hijack is continuously active after unlocking it and no longer appears as an end-of-day service toggle. Missing that old control is not itself a malfunction.

Report charge rather than assumptions

Record target charge before and after the night, the layout and whether power was newly activated. If the behavior still fails, preserve that setup in a save. Do not infer a larger coverage area, a charging amount or a repair recipe from the patch sentence alone.
