Or is this a bug, and they should look "active" no matter how much energy is powering the base? |
Base batteries are "raid" items. They effectively kept devices going in case primary power to the base was destroyed.
Now? They're just eye candy and nothing more.

Yes, I recall they were used for Base Raids back when that function was enabled with Bases. What I'm seeking to find out is if they are suppose to light up when placed on the walls as decorations, or do they not light up, and insome cases with the Arcane batteries, move at all now that Base Raiding has been disabled. I only have an interest in using them as decorations if they look active, as the non-active look is not really the design look I'm going for.

I'll have to place a couple to be sure. But I believe they're inactive pieces.
