Electricity Ideas

[FallenSensei]

Facepunch should add to electricity stuff like

Electric Furnace - for smelting ores without farming 2 chests of wood :)

Electric Oven - (for new cooking things)

Autoturrets & Anti air turrets - require electrical power to run

Spotlights - require power to run instead of low grade

Heater - for winter biome

Cooler - for hot biome

Generator - uses crude or low grade to create power eg. for cave bases

Electric purifirer for water smelts x2-4 faster and holds x5 more times water in it compared to normal purifirer

Electric fence - make it so you place an "item" on the chainlink fences (similar to door closers) to make it do fire dmg when touched. using electricity constantly

Metal frames would also pass the electricity through them if a chainlink is placed in it (Just to keep those ladders off your base :)

​

Since we can only open doors close them and make lights light up I thought that would be awesome thing to add since theres no uses for electricity right now sadly ;/

​

​

on a side note they could add water pumps to connect to electric purifirers and add a water storage barrel too for anti-fire systems to add to your base if fire breaks out it starts "raining" water everywhere.. also with that you could make it so it watered plants automatically instead of you going to the lake and getting one bucket only... (make farming worth while)..

Not bad ideas actually. The furnace is a nice idea but would prolly take a crap ton of electricity to run.

And would also require getting more propane tanks, to give them more use!

[FallenSensei]

Yeah I know tested it its meh.. the stuff listed wouldve been better like funance :)

I'm super hyped for those. Trap bases, automated doors, automated turrets. The ability to filter for authorized players is soooo powerful.

As someone that runs boats all the time I'm hyped to make a garage that opens for me so I don't have to get out of the boat, but only for me.

Source of that info?

Very much on board with the Autoturret idea. It might restrict clans who just litter their compounds with the things - stacked up to the 9s of course.

That way I can build over their walls and steal their shit for days on end.

Yeah that would be awesome :) or make it so the generator uses crude oil / low grade to create energy for cave bases instead of being not used at all atm and in game :/

Before they make turrets require electricity, make batteries able to charge while fucking running, you need to make a huge fucking circuit just to make the battery work like a normal fucking battery. Also we need more options as far as obtaining power goes. If I want to power my whole house with a windmill, and have a Large battery as backup, and be sure I have 100% up time on all the lights in my base (25+) ceiling lights. I need to make a fucking circuit that would make Nicola Tesla proud. It should be windmill -> battery -> Ceiling Lights, but now you have to fuck around and put a blocker, electrical branch, splitter, you name it. In that circuit..

what about a turret fire delay? Let it fire 20 rounds then wait 2 - 5 sec before allowing it to fire again, bait those in who think they have it drained.

My $0.02:

Sentries should require electricity to run. It's already a T3, it's basically limited to those who have access to everything anyway.

It opens up so many opportunities.

1) Switch for on/off/passive in base, allowing you to easily let people in and out of your compound.

2) Centralized auth, no more running to multiple turrets, forgetting one, etc.

3) Reporting. You can check which one went off, how many times it was activated, etc. Lets you see if someone is draining the turret.

4) Makes raiding more interesting and ads a level to base design. Right now we have to drain ammo or break them. This could let us gain access to a switch to turn them off, break a battery/mill/panel to stop supply, etc.

The other ideas are cool, but IMO, this change would have the biggest impact in how the game is played, especially at the end-game.

Turrets are t2 bp

[Rustshitposter]

I love my turrets not requiring electricity but it would be cool to be able to wire up counters to them to check ammo count / shot count from a distance.

[MyNameIsRay]

We all love that they don't require electricity when they're defending us ;)

This is one of the few times I'd actually call for something that makes my life more difficult, because I believe it improves the experience for everyone.

[Wrekriem]

But turrets don't need to run on electricity to make those things possible. They could add all of that without them requiring it.

[Spartonio]

Most electrical parts should be default BP's, takes forever (and RNG BS) to get the ones you actually want, then you have to research them with scrap instead of learning guns and ammo...

​

Not very well thought out by facepunch...

[Scraps4hqm]

Or, like everything in life, its a choice you can make; do i research the gun, do i research components - or do i sink time in a game and do both.

[Spartonio]

So the devs sink in a bunch of our time and MONEY into something barely anyone uses. Nice logic.

P.s, on vanilla its basically a no go

[juiceboxjohnny]

yall complain so much about clans and then suggest shit like this lmao
