[Ligma Bababooey]

Are they also connected to a battery and to other buildings in your settlement?

[Ligma Bababooey]

for some resaon battery is greyed out in toturial i can only build solar panels and poles, a bug i assume ?

Could you provide us with (a) screenshot(s), so we can see, what you did and maybe find the fault?

But in general: You have to build a solar collector and connect it with poles to buildings. Unfortunately it can be a little bit tricky, since some people have problems to see when the poles and buildings are connected and when they are not. But we're still working on improving this.

Seems ok at first glance. Could you please provide us with your savegame so we can check that?

• Navigate to %USERPROFILE%/AppData/LocalLow/Gentlymad Studios/Endzone

I had the same problem. look at the connection between the solar collector and the very first electric poles. Also make sure that all of your electrical poles are connected to each other. (a building cannot serve as a connection between two posts. you must absolutely see a wire which connects the two posts)

Best way to build the poles is build them on the streets/paths in your settlement. They definitely do connect to buildings nearby when you do that.

Same problem here. Even the solar collector itself is saying it's not hooked up to the grid.

**EDIT** I fixed it by demolishing and rebuilding the solar collector in the exact same spot.

You absolutely cannot see these wires, especially if it is dark. There needs to be additional player feedback (a light along connection wires, e.g., when you click on a pole; or information in the solar building e.g., this building is not connected to the city) in order to know whether you are connecting/connected or not. Tutorial and manual say 'building is connected to the grid through power pole' but neither says power poles need to be connected by other poles or directly to the source of electricity. (Although you would think this would be a given, one never knows how a game intends to function, so it is good to make it clear.)

And, just to be very clear, this is an absolutely fabulous game. Artwork is fantastic, detail is marvelous, technology interaction sensible.

^^ This is correct.

If can connect trough building it maybe good than this.Well it gave the theme more real,but if you used to other game in simillar gen you will be lost for a while.

Some search in forum can be usefull.I have to do it for this game because tutorial in game and guide not mention about it.
