Head into your inventory and pull out the wire. Upon equipping it, hover it over the log, and you’ll see arrows on the logs indicating you can place it there. Connect the wires going through your structure and attach wires to your log pathways.

After doing “cable management” in your base, attach some light bulbs, and that’s it. Currently, Light bulbs perform better than any lighting in the game.

Solar Panels currently have limited usage to only lighting up bulbs. There is always the possibility of further expansion in future updates. Solar panels could become more versatile and integral to base building and energy generation as the game evolves. Adding new features or upgrades to solar panels could open up new possibilities for players, making their gameplay experience even more exciting and challenging.
