Your base camp is currently without power, limiting its functionality. Your first objective is to repair the generator. Virgil AT-9 will provide you with the necessary instructions. You'll need to gather specific materials, typically Scrap Metal and Electronic Parts, which can be found by scavenging nearby ruins or dismantling broken machinery. Use your survival guide to track the required components. Once you have the materials, interact with the broken generator at the base camp to initiate the repair. This will restore power, allowing you to use the crafting bench more effectively and access other base functions.
The repair process is straightforward, but gathering the materials might expose you to Wanderers. Be cautious and prioritize stealth. The generator is usually located near the main building of your base. After the repair, the base will gain basic lighting and the ability to power certain defenses, which will be crucial for later missions. This step teaches you the importance of maintaining your base infrastructure.
