The Basic Battery is a crafted power cell that serves as a component in early tool recipes.
Basic Battery Sources
The Basic Battery is crafted at the Fabricator and is not found in the world. Its materials come from separate sources:
- Copper — gather 2 Copper before returning to the Fabricator.
- Acidic Raion Pouch — harvested from Acidic Raion plants using a Survival Multitool.
How to Craft
- Gather 2 Copper.
- Harvest 1 Acidic Raion Pouch from an Acidic Raion plant using the Survival Multitool.
- Return to the Fabricator.
- Craft the Basic Battery.
Used In
| Tool | Batteries Required | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Scanner | 1 | Enables blueprint scanning for early unlocks |
| Habitat Builder | 1 | Unlocks base building once the blueprint is complete |
The first Basic Battery usually goes into the Scanner. Save or craft a second Basic Battery for the Habitat Builder once its blueprint is unlocked.
Common Blockers
“I cannot harvest the Acidic Raion Pouch.” You need a Survival Multitool. Check the Fabricator — if the Multitool recipe is there, craft it before returning to the plant.
“The Basic Battery does not appear in my Fabricator.” The recipe should be available without a separate blueprint. If it is missing, check that you have the required materials and are using a Fabricator.
Next Action
Craft a Basic Battery, then build the Scanner (2 Titanium + 2 Quartz + 1 Basic Battery) to start scanning blueprints in the world.
