Description
A tornado doesn't care about your little hamlet. A tsunami can wipe a small town off the map. You need early solutions for whenever a disaster strikes. While there really isn't a need for air raid sirens and fallout shelters [yet], the government still wants you to be prepared for when tragedy strikes.

Enter the Early Bird Civil Defense System. A small fallout shelter (known as a "small vault") that can hold around half the number of citizens safely and can easily fit into small towns without blowing the budget. But it's a bit of a waste if you don't have the means to alert people, right? So we're also including two air sirens for you to place in your cities; A Thunderbolt and a 2T22 (Yes, North American Sirens) that act as short-range radio masts that cost much less and have slightly less "broadcast strength" than their radio counterparts... But even a wailing siren warning of an incoming twister or killer wave is better than nothing at all.

Unlike most of my other items on the workshop, I will try to return to this one to add in the appropriate sound effects for the sirens, that is, once I can figure out how to add custom sounds to a specific asset rather than trying to replace game files.

I think you could make a proto by using the ping mechanic u get on top of radios, u just need to replace it for the mod

the people that are asking why the sirens dont make noise, the sirens are a broadcaster, meaning that it acts like a radio tower. for them to make noise, they would have to be a shelter. but being a shelter would mean it needs to be road side, but people will run to a siren when disaster strikes. this is why they dont make noise

Maybe you could add an ACA Cyclone siren.

Got the DLC but only the defualt shelters make noise, I want the sirens to make that sound too when the shelters are active

Uhh I have placed the siren and shelter. Yet I don't hear anything from them upon evacuating or disasters. Is it just a prop?

@tonycoolbek - if you want the evacuation siren, you need to have the Disasters DLC. Once you’ve placed a shelter you can activate the siren so coma will evacuate. If you don’t have the DLC you can’t do this.

Would it be possible to just use the sounds in-game to make the siren work?
