If all your stations have turned off and show red lightning bolts or a “Needs Power” warning, your generator doesn’t have enough power for all of them.
Why this happens
Your generator has a limited power output (shown in watts when you click on it). Each station draws power when turned on. If the total power draw from all your stations exceeds what your generator can supply, they’ll all shut off.
How to fix it
You have two options:
- Turn off some stations. Click on individual stations and toggle their Power On/Off switch. Only keep powered the ones you’re actively using.
- Upgrade your generator. A higher-level generator provides more watts, letting you run more stations at once.
If stations still won’t turn on
Sometimes there’s a bug where stations stay off even after you’ve reduced the load. If this happens, turn off all your stations completely, then turn them back on one at a time. That usually resets things.
