How to charge suit battery ?

[Lactic]

I have looked in the ingame FAQ and it says to go close to a blue electrical plug and left clic to recharge the battery but nothing happen. However, it works well with water.
I have tested this on a blue electrical plug of the Lithium static plant.

Whatever plug you are interacting with must have power...

Have you tried using solar panel to charge the suit?

How are we supposed to charge it on the solar panel?

open the green socket and hold LMB. It is explained in tutorials

Which tutorials? I don't recall seeing it in the Campaign tutorial - however, the tutorials "completed" after only two tutorials, which is probably a bug.

It's a funky way to do it, but if you unplug whatever you have plugged into the blue solar panel socket, and touch it where it says Replenish. That works too.

PS - You have to hold it for a few seconds. It takes a moment to be fully charged.

Ok thank you for your answers. But does it only work by a solar panel ? I thought this should work on every blue electrical socket (like on a lithium battery plant for example), shouldn't it ?

It should also work with outlets in the buildings, as long as the buildings are properly supplied with electricity.

My suit will only charge from a solar panel. I had this same problem in public test, though it would charge from rover port too, but nowhere else.

I think you should have suit batteries that you swap out for ones that are in some rack charging. Having to stick your finger in a socket to charge is a little odd.

green socket ? I tought there were blue

Why can't we recharge energy from transformer or battery then ?

I've always just used the the charging point in the rover, but that was prologue and Beta.

Can confirm in campaign that the solar panels are the only things you can charge suit from. Transformer and Battery give the tooltip for it but nothing actually happens, and yes i had power allocated to the socket i was trying to use on transformer.

Same here, Transformer or Battery with whatever power alloawed (or not) impossible to charge. I have to unplug a solar panel each time.
