Battery packs?

[Falco]

I'm on my second year, third stormy day of summer and I have 8 lightning rods but I don't get any battery packs! Summer is going to slip by and I won't get any battery packs...
I even tried to change their locations.

Any advices?

Not sure what to say. You'll know they've been hit when they start pulsing. Give them a day or two to make the battery pack. That's how mine have been working. /8

They dont even start pulsing

Hmm, that's strange. If it helps, I have mine at the top of my farm around the entrance to the northern route that leads to the Carpentry shop. They catch every thunderstorm.

Otherwise, I'd send in a bug report.

It shouldn't matter where you are. It may or may not matter if you're on the farm so they get hit, I'm not sure. So try standing at home all day during a lightning storm maybe.

the rods have to be on your farm. anywhere else they dont work (thats what ive read) . i got like 10 of them, every single one of them got charged atleast once.

edit: it dosnt mater where you are during the storm. the rods have to be on your farm.

Cool, good to know.

They are all on my farm and I stayed whole day to check if they were getting charged. Also loaded a ton of times to check if they were charging as soon as I left home any of those times and nothing. I'm pretty sure it's a bug.
I think it might be related to loading. Maybe if you load on a storm day the rods won't charge?

Might be RNG related too. I have two rods in different parts of my farm. Last storm one of them was charged, the other was not.
