Occasionally, the radio signals used to power the cell via satellite will be blocked by random objects. These causes can be either "orbital debris", "a glass storm", "a flock of birds", "acid rain", "drift film", or "an unidentified anomaly", and the exact cause of occlusion can be seen upon viewing the item with a [[Scanning#Techscanning|techscanning]] apparatus. The exact percentages are located within <code>GlobalConfig.json</code>. By default, there is a 0.5% chance a game tick of the radio waves being occluded, preventing any charge. Once they are blocked, there is a 1.5% chance every game tick of clearing up and resume to charge.{{Code Reference|class=BroadcastPowerReceiver|name=BroadcastPowerReceiver}}
