How to use Hydraulic Generators in Once Human

A good tip is to place the generator's turbine in water while keeping the base part on land. If this does not work for you the first time, try experimenting with different generator placements around your base, keeping in mind the tip mentioned above.

It is also important to note that the Hydraulic Generator won't work in still waters, so you have to find a flowing water source.

Once it's working, press X to enter build mode and connect the wires to your base's Circuit Modules. Press X again to select the facilities you wish to be powered by your new equipment.
