Charging Station

When connected to the grid, the Charging Station continuously injects UE into one slotted item. It only charges items—Laser Pistol, Electric Mini Rocket, unplaced industrial tiles, etc. It cannot refill tiles already placed in the world (those use pipelines).

How It Works

Section titled “How It Works”

Two Slots

Section titled “Two Slots”
SlotRole
Charge slot (Item)Chargeable weapon/item/unplaced machine; station injects ~6 UE/s
Battery slot (Empty)Battery items. When internal UE is 50+ below cap, consumes 1 battery for +50 UE

The battery slot is a fast top-up when you use the station off-grid as a portable charger.

What Can Be Charged

Section titled “What Can Be Charged”

The station only accepts chargeable gear:

  1. Charge weapons: items with charge meters (Laser Pistol, Electric Mini Rocket, etc.)
  2. Industrial items: unplaced machines store UE on the item. Pre-fill a Mining Machine before placing it at a new base

Other items do nothing in the slot.

Controls

Section titled “Controls”

  • Right-click with chargeable item: insert into charge slot; swaps if occupied
  • Shift + right-click: eject charge slot item to inventory

Pickup

Section titled “Pickup”

Dropped stations keep their UE. A charged station works as an off-grid weapon charger.
