[BaoBaB]

Hi well i have my generator with gas in it it works, i have the cables the are powered i have the junction and outlet , but the lamp post won't power up . it says no power . I don't get it I did what they said in the video and still no power. My floor is metal and so are the wall. can that affect it?? Thanks for your time. I'm on the island by the way just saying.

Metal walls and floor will not affect it, no. How close is the outlet? They have a certain range, if the lamp is too far away it will not reach it to power it.

Aside from that, if you could post some screenshots of your setup so we can see what you are describing, that might help people to give some advice...

Are you using mods? If you're mixing/matching electrical things from different mods or the base game, there may also be a conflict going on too.

Is there a cable that appeared between the lamp and the outlet? If not the outlet is too far away

Sometimes outlets aren't actually connected. Remove and replace again, and make sure it staps to the end of the cable. I've also seen issues where cables don't autosnap to each other. it will center one cable in the middle of a ceiling or something, which means it's displaced from the other cable. That's rarer, but it happens too.

you need a charge battery, depending on the lamp/mod tho

where do you get or how do charge a battery , thanks

You don´t really need a charge battery, just a functional power supply with generator, cables and an output, batteries are just a substitute.

You can get the engram for the charge batteries from Abberration, but you need congealed gas balls to craft one and you can charge them slowly on a charge node, (from Abberration and Crystal Isles) a city terminal (at the Extinction map) or by using it on a Glowbug.

This happens a lot, Check your cable placement and snaps and check if the outlet is lit up. If not pick them all up and just relay them.
