Charging Station
When connected to the grid, the Charging Station continuously injects UE into one slotted item. It only charges items such as the Laser Pistol, Electric Mini Rocket, and unplaced industrial tiles. It cannot refill tiles already placed in the world, which draw from pipelines instead.

How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”Two Slots
Section titled “Two Slots”| Slot | Role |
|---|---|
| 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:
