Electricity didn't work

[DESERT IGOR]

I can't turn on the light bulb, it just doesn't light up to turn on. I tried to put it in different places, with and without a battery. Everything is connected correctly, I also put solar panels in different places. It doesn't work day or night.

[HEX: Anti-Orela]

did you place a wire from the solar panel to the bulb wires?

works for me, must have ♥♥♥♥♥♥ sum up

Connect it all up starting with solar panel and battery. Connect all wires up from panel to whatever the arrows show you, Connect bulbs. Wiggle and take off the wire from solar panel to the start of the wiring then reconnect it and you will hear a power whine noise all sorted.

You need a lot of solar panels if you want to provide enough power for your base, especially when using electric fences as well.

I've got about 16 or 18 panels for round about 12 light bulbs + the fence.
Also make sure that every log having contact with a bulb is stripped with a wire.
You also have to ensure that you built clean.

Unfortunately building system seems a bit bugged, so that you can build and it also looks good, even if the materials used aren't properly linked together.
This starts becoming an issue, if you start stripping wires.

Some indication for a 'poorly' linked log or pillar is, if you realised that you couldn't add or remove logs at some locations for apparently no reason during building.

If you experienced stuff like that, there's a good chance that there went something wrong.

There should be an option in the game to highlight the connected wires

If you do as i said you will hear the power whine start up then turn bulbs on. Fences in v1 are not working in my game but worked fine in early access.

I have like 8 bulbs hooked up to 5 solar panels just fine. Just make sure all the copper wire is properly connected to each other then to the panel.

Weird, fences work just fine for me in v1

Why?

Ive normally just used 1 panel lol the only reason i used more is if they are on my homes roof and i need space in my backpack. I use the light for defence on a night from 1 panel and approx 3 or 4 bulbs wired on 3 log lengths near the traps.
