You actually need to be a place that has a APC, and have equipment enabled to turn on the generator.

For some reason you can't turn on pacman if there's no power in powernet that it's connected to.

Re: P.A.C.K.M.A.N. Portable Generators
I was thinking to add this to the bug report soon, but i would say this is a bug for sure and not a feature. Im pretty sure pacman shouldnt be considered under the equipment circuit in the APC since that defeats one of the main purposes of having a generator (repowering a dark area). I've had more than a few times where i would haul the pacman to restart the dead powernet only to be tripped up by this weird bug.
Gaze upon me,
for I have wandered deep into the ancient tombs of knowledge to which lie madness and sorrow, cleansing a path for all those who walk behind me...
...
But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!
~Furthermore, I consider that Floodlights should no longer be destroyed.~

It's a very old bug and I'm surprised it is still around.

It's not so much a bug, as a side effect of the pacman being a machine. It requires power to machinery in whatever room it's in, thats all.

I'm pretty sure I fixed this a while ago. PM me if I didn't.
