Hi I am fairly new to the bionics in CDDA and I’m having a issue using the electric forge with a UPS conversion installed with my internal UPS or is it strictly compatible with the handheld ones?
The Internal UPS is activated and I have plenty of power.

I remember that the UPS things have a bug that basically nullified all the usefulness of using UPS equipment. I know that guns that use UPS power still works but I don’t know if the devs already fix the issue with UPS tools.

Thanks for the reply, I was not aware of the issue and it looks like it might still be a work in progress. Created topic in the garage [Internal UPS and Electric Forge](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/internal-ups-and-electric-forge/20971)

I think you can still craft the forge into a vehicle so it can run on an the vehicles power. If you add footcranks, windmills, or solar panels, it basically counts as UPS in a roundabout way

Last time I tried to make a UPS conversion Mod I couldn’t get it to power anything. The UPS worked fine for power armor though. I was pointed here when I posted about it: [known issue](https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/issues/29961)
