How to power light?

[Dionysus 🐭]

I have the generator, but it says the lights need power. The generator has fuel, and a wire is nearby (I could not find a way to attach the wire to the light though).

Bump

go to the build menu and you can see wire connection, just click on the generator then the light and they will link. You have to click the little electric logo to link.

I think this is bug i cannot even open my safes and i have power for suply it

Select the electrical wire in the build option and look for the nodes that are green when hovered over them. Attach them from one to the other to make the connection.

The wire has to be connected to the light.
If there isn't any visible way to snap the wire building to the light, then it's probably another bug related to base building and electricity.

Base power Fing BS dev crap.

There is no connection. I have tried connecting the wire to the light, but it doesn't snap to it.

same here, deleted my safes

replace your storage units using the new bldg snap positioning and they should start working again once powered.

The fix is to uninstall the game, and reinstall when they do an update on exploration (so you don't have to deal with the base building ♥♥♥♥).

I had the same problem with safes... I play on normal tho and when I deleted them and relocated on different position I still had the same mats inside as they were before. I have issue with electrical doors from large units (cylindrical room, after I install electrical doors). After successfully powering the building itself, you have to power the doors manually and I did but the problem is that after they got juiced they automatically shut down and they don't open anymore. Does anyone have this issue... is it a bug or am I missing something?

Same thing with me. My entire base has gone dark :(

One thing I've noticed is that if your multi-tool is in terrain manipulator mode, you won't be able to access anything until it's changed.

This guy does a pretty good job of explaining how to power one of those doors, but it won't work on the large power doors as those are bugged.
