Battery Charger Won't Charge Batteries

[for7hyp3]

So I put a battery charger in my base excited to not have to keep wasting resources making batteries but to my suprise, the battery charger wont charge the battteries and I have no idea why. My base has plenty of power (750) but it refuses to charge them, its not drawing power from the base either.

This game is often buggy so I wouldn't be surprised. However, dumb question first.

You are not putting fully charged batteries in, right? They all look the same in your inventory and you can only tell the difference with mouseover tooltips. Though the charger itself would display the full green bar for 100% on the out of PDA display.

Dumb question the second. When you say it won't charge batteries. Do you mean you put them in, and then even after a while they don't get any charge back? Or that it won't take your batteries in the first place? (Dumb question 2.B: Are you trying to put power cells into the battery charger).

Using the charger is like using a locker. where you click on it to open it's screen that let's you swap batteries in and out of it. Though I expect you already know that.

Yes the batteries are 100% dead and I put the batteries in the charger and even after 20 minutes they haven't gone up at all

Well... crap. Definitly hit F8 on that, and post a follow up on the bugs subforum. That's pretty lame.

After doing so, pray to the dark gods of video games while dismantling then rebuilding the battery charger and hope that works out.

Will do, and I already tried dismantling the charger restating my game and rebuilding the charger but that didn't work

Ok let me try assessing the situation...

1. What is your charger attached to?

2. Is whatever it's attached to have power?

3. What kind of power? (Solar, thermal, nuclear, bio, etc)

1. The wall of my base

2. Yes

3. A combination of 2 solar panels and a bio reactor

Put it into another base? Or a different wall? Not sure if it helps.

I've tried a different wall, in ever room in my base but nothing works

Put it into a cyclops,if you have one, if your power cell charger works.

What's your base's power count at?

I don't have a cyclops yet or the blueprint for a power cell charger

Re-install the power generators? I am all out of suggestions.

According to his opening post, 750. But his batteries are just sitting there and not even putting a dent in his power.

Tried that too, idk it might just be permanently bugged. Oh well I guess I'm stuck wasting materials making new batteries

Final bonus round dumb question.

Did you start a new game for the latest big update. Or are you playing from a save from before the update? That often causes twice as many bugs as the game usually has.
