The Fallout 76 Camp Electricity guide which will go over the details that are necessary to light up your little settlements. This is essentially the exact same setup that the fourth entry had so if you've played that one it should be a swift transition. You will have access to the various mentioned items by default and from there you'll need to unlock better versions to take advantage of them.
Keep in mind, certain supplies are needed for the various items you create. There's also a video guide attached to provide a more guided visual assistance if that's needed. Using the power in Fallout 76 is rather easy, firstly you move over towards the "Generators" tab when going to build near your camp.
I'd suggest making sure you have a base or something first, but I suppose that's not truly needed. Pick the base generator option and take notice of the power it gives off. The better the generator, the more power you get. Don't forget that you can chain these power providers through wires to boost the base juice available.
The wire aspect will be discussed shortly. So once the generator is placed, you'll need to select from the "Power Connectors" tab. Here you will pick the basic power pylon and place it somewhat close to the first item you've put down.
Next you'll switch to the management option and hover over either of the items you've just placed. Press "Y" or platform equivalent and you'll get a wire, attach this to the other item. It works both ways if you're wondering and this now creates an aurora of light. From there, head over to the "Lights" tab.
Pick whatever you'd like, but let's start with a lamp or lightbulb. Place them in the vicinity of the pylon and bam, you have a powered connection of bright light within the wasteland. It's that easy, but you'll need to play around with it to really get the finer points of it all. Sometimes it can be difficult to get a connection just right. At least the budget is far better after the Wastelanders update.
I hope that helps with your electricity and building setups, it's not difficult yet can be overwhelming from an outside perspective.That's all of the aspects that make up the Camp Electricity, you can read more about the game below and view the franchise hub for further coverage.
