Recharge with a Small battery
Tools use your backpack’s electricity. If you have a Small battery:
- Open your inventory and select it.
- Hold F to use it. Its tooltip lists 50 Electricity.
- Check your backpack power and the battery stack.
In the example, backpack power changes from 47 / 200 to 97 / 200, while the Small battery stack falls from 11 to 10. Personal fuel stays at 20 / 200; electricity and fuel are separate resources.
Recharge near glowing plants
The game’s electricity tutorial describes recharging near certain plants. Look for the slender blue glowing foliage and red-blue particles shown in the linked sequence. Staying nearby changes the backpack charge bar from low red to a higher blue level.
The tutorial also describes slow solar recharging. A plant’s appearance does not provide a precise charging radius or a guaranteed charging time.
Connect the Wasp and Camp Hub
Start with the Wasp parked near a deployed Camp Hub.
- Aim at the Wasp’s electricity interface and use the displayed CONNECT ELECTRICITY mouse action.
- Carry the cable to the deployed Camp Hub.
- At the Hub’s matching CONNECT ELECTRICITY prompt, complete the connection.
- Check that an orange cable joins the two. At the Wasp, the prompt changes to DISCONNECT ELECTRICITY.
Connected does not always mean charging
The cable and DISCONNECT prompt confirm a connection. Read the Wasp’s power gauge separately to check whether its charge is rising. A cable confirms that the two interfaces are connected; the charge gauge tells you whether the Wasp is gaining electricity.
