Cataclysm-dda: UPS conversion mod not allowing recharge in recharging station?

[matt32106]

Describe the bug

In 0.D I used to put a UPS conversion mod on my tools and when I dropped them in a recharging station they recharged (as per the tutorial#63 of Vormithrax). I just did that on a food processor, dropped it in the recharging station and nothing happens (the same recharging station works OK for batteries). Has the logic changed or am I doing something wrong?

Steps To Reproduce

Expected behavior

Work as before or provide explanation on the new way to make it work.

Why things that break previous features are allowed in the main version. Should not the battery overhaul have been rolled out until it works before merging?

I feel the same way. Came across this bug as well.
And thought I had misremembered how the UPS mod should work.

I'm sure though no one broke the game on purpose.
Maybe someone will fix this in the near future.

Yep, currently you have to unload batteries and put THEM into recharging station.
Or activate Aftershock, it will replace all UPS, even already-generated ones, with its own version which can be recharged in UPSRC but has an integrated battery (i.e. you can't unload/reload it with regular batteries) with 1500 capacity.

Why things that break previous features are allowed in the main version. Should not the battery overhaul have been rolled out until it works before merging?

Because, and I quote, "Stable versions are just glorified translation milestones. They contain unfinished features and bugs despite your expectations."
They really should put it on Releases page in bold so people stop asking silly questions.

Looks like a duplicate of #33968
@matt32106 please close this issue if you agree.

So nice to see this kind of BS: "They really should put it on Releases page in bold so people stop asking silly questions."

Looks like this is "handled" by a staled issue. -> Closed
