Generator Tweaks - Core

I can confirm the same issue mentioned in the other comments: the mod is broken after the latest update. When trying to open "Generator Info," the logs are flooded with errors, all pointing to the zombie folder file, and the game eventually crashes.

I recommend that anyone planning to try this mod back up their original file first. I didn’t, and I had to verify my game files.

Update plz

Really interested in this mod, hope it gets updated :)

It doesn't crash for me, but it doesn't work at all. There are no options to take the generator, run, or connect it, and when I try to view the information, I just see a glitched "Generator Info" line with no background

it indeed dont work anymore, it crashes after a minute or two, so all of generator tweaks mod series dont work anymore

The last game patch broke this mod, if i am to copy paste the zombie folder as said in description the generators ingame no longer function properly, the description of it is bugged and soon after a crash will occur, I recommend do a back up to everyone who wants to use this

@varken

I made some changes on my generator weights. The blue one is very light, so I use it for expeditions. The yellow one stays at home.

Your power and wattage limit idea is interesting, but it would need mechanics the game doesn’t have yet. If that were added, wire capacity should matter too, since real households have limits on how much current can run through a given size. Something like Oxygen Not Included electric system would be amazing.

Imagine fuel generators, coal generators, solar panels, and transformers all feeding into the same grid. Add in alcohol plants from sugarcane for renewable energy. It would be great, but since this is a zombie survival game, I doubt TIS will go into that direction.

@ribs,

Thank you very much for your time and detailed explanation. I didn't realised how much work it would take, I understand your point of view and appriciate you work.

Only one explanation for my way of thinking... You wrote "Once you already have the best generator, what real difference would all the extra options make?" - and this is current game approach. If you have yellow one you don't need any other. I would take more balanced approach: you can have old, big, heavy, loud generator but with a lot of power range and high fuel capacity or something totally oposite - small, lightweight and quiet but with small power radius and low fuel capacity. Or something between those two :) But you have always a choice to make and simply - the best overall generator doesn't exist :).

Maybe some day developers make this happen :) Have a nice day!

Your idea makes sense, different generators should have different parameters. I actually experimented with something similar in my previous mod here:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3554362225

Back then I changed the zombie attraction radius by modifying the item:
[code]
ScriptManager.instance:getItem(itemKey):DoParam("SoundRadius = " .. getValue(optionKey))
[/code]

Then the Java side would grab the item and radius:
[code]
// get the item
var1 = ScriptManager.instance.getItem(var2);

// get the sound volume
var11 = var1.getSoundVolume();

// make the zombie noise
WorldSoundManager.instance.addSoundRepeating(this, PZMath.fastfloor(this.getX()), PZMath.fastfloor(this.getY()), PZMath.fastfloor(this.getZ()), var10, var11, false);
[/code]

In the new approach, this logic is tied directly to the sandbox options:
[code]
int runningZombieRadius = this.getSandboxValue("GeneratorTweaksSound.RunningZombieRadius", 20);
int runningZombieVolume = this.getSandboxValue("GeneratorTweaksSound.RunningZombieVolume", 20);

int x = PZMath.fastfloor(this.getX());
int y = PZMath.fastfloor(this.getY());
int z = PZMath.fastfloor(this.getZ());

WorldSoundManager.instance.addSoundRepeating(this, x, y, z, runningZombieRadius, runningZombieVolume, false);
[/code]
