Charging up and catching your fall

How the charging station and the tumble-wings upgrade work in R.E.P.O., so a battery is topped up knowingly and a fall is survived on purpose.

Applies to

0.4.0, read from the copy of the game this site was built from (see the sources page)

Before you start

• A charging station in the shop
• Something to charge
• The tumble wings bought, if you have them

Steps

1. Put the item in the station rather than beside it.
   the station has a body and a subtle light, and it takes an item
2. Read the bar while it charges, because charging is drawn in segments.
   it charges in segments along a curve and lights a bar of its own
3. Know that a crystal can break, and that it is audible.
   it holds a crystal cylinder and a set of crystals, and it has a sound for a power crystal breaking
4. Do not stand in the beam.
   it works with a laser mesh, a laser point and a line drawn between two points
5. Remember the wings belong to your avatar rather than to an item slot.
   the upgrade refers to the player avatar it belongs to
6. Expect the wings to be built from a left and a right.
   the wings have a transform of their own with a left and a right wing transform
7. Use the light and the sound to tell whether the wings are out.
   there is a light belonging to the wings and a looping sound played from a local audio source

Common mistakes

• Leaving an item next to the station and assuming it charged.
• Standing where the beam points.
• Forgetting that the wings are an avatar upgrade rather than a carried tool.
• Missing that the wings are lit and audible, and so can be checked without looking.
