Loftia crafting and Battery: stations, capacity and recharging
Crafting needs both materials and Battery charges. Wikily separates station recipes, carried Battery capacity and generator storage; check the missing component before gathering more materials.
Match the station to the item
Wikily lists Project, Tailoring, Carpentry, Cooking and Refining as separate stations with their own recipes; some upgraded levels add recipes. Check the item’s station and required level before spending a gathering trip on ingredients. The Recycler has a different purpose: it salvages finished pieces into basic resources, rather than serving as a universal crafting station.

Refill the carried Battery
According to Wikily, Battery capacities progress through 5, 10, 20 and 30 charges. Capacity is the amount you can carry, not a promise that it is full. Refill at an energy station before a crafting session; the Battery Totems around Gridfall can also recharge it. If materials are ready but crafting stops, check current charge before assuming the recipe is wrong.

Choose storage or instant conversion
Wikily gives Small/Medium Solar Panels storage of 5/10 charges and Small/Medium Hydro Stations 10/20; hydro generation is faster in rain. For immediate power in any weather, it lists Biofuel conversion at 2 Algae per charge for Small and 1 for Medium. Compare your stored energy and Algae supply before choosing a refill method. These are community-reported Early Access values.
