    I've been using this guide for about 10 months as my go-to electricity guide. its the best. I do want to mention a disagreement i now have though, when discussing battery banks and solar banks. I've been using generators exclusively because that seemed like the only power source worth using. However, recently our group starting a crafting base (in the wasteland), and we needed some automated defenses and a powered door. I had a million quality 6 batteries saved up, so i tried out the battery bank. it works perfectly, and you don't need/want a switch (this is my disagreement). if the battery bank and generator (and later solar) all can power the system, then the generator powers the system when on, and recharges the batteries. when the generator runs out of gas, the batteries take over until they deplete. if you have solar, the solar charges the batteries and runs the system during the day, the batteries run it at night, no intervention needed. its perfect for constant base defense in multiplayer. Generators are still way easier for horde night.

    One thing about tripwires or cameras triggering something forever: You can use that to check if someone was at your house. Place a camera triggering a light whenever a stranger says hello, and when you come back a few hours later and see the light turned on, you know someone was there. That's useful if you have shops/vending machines and don't want to check them manually all the time.

    Thank you for the vid! I feel like you missed an important opportunity with the Battery Bank. Its for emplacements that you don't want to build and manage a bunch of generators. You can have one generator charge many batteries at a series of battery banks and then swap out batteries whenever you want. You don't even always need to charge them as you can just find new batteries with charge. Anyway I use them as personal power packs for traps and turrets that are not placed close enough other things that I charge with a generator. You could build multiple generators if you wanted... I don't think the noise is much of an issue. but I just think of the battery bank a useful portable tool.

    • @DerMichael
      @DerMichael 2 года назад +3

  • @sebione3576
    @sebione3576 3 года назад +2

    I wish they would make it possible to connect multiple generators or solar panels to one battery bank, but you can always overcome that obstacle by building multiple circuits with each circuit not exceeding 170 watts for solar panels (that way the battery bank recharges with the extra 10 watts during the day so it can run all night and fully recharge the next day).

      Sound is irrelevant in this game. The zombies are attracted to heat as the game uses a heat map. Weapons and tools all produce heat when used. Also fueled workbenches produce heat. You would think a Generator produces heat also since it's fueled but IzPrebuilt is correct it doesn't. There's some info about this in the journal under Activity Map.

    I just need a bit of clarification on the electric fence traps... if I have 3 active electric fences passing through the same block space, will all three traps damage zombies cumulatively, or will it do the same damage as a single fence? If it is cumulative that would mean a whole lot of damage potential in a single area, but that seems like it might be something FP would have nerfed already.

      As I understand it from the gamefiles the zombie can only have 1 shock debuff applied to it at a time.

      Rative? If you mean to ask if it's still accurate... mostly but not all. Quite a bit has changed in three years. Solar stuff now appears at traders at trader level 55+ (won't go into how you get that, but it's basically your level modified by your tier with the trader and boosted by the Daring Adventurer perk), you can no longer craft stuff just by maxing out the skill and probably some other changes. In terms of the basics, though, it's all still correct and very useful.
      I personally prefer solar -> battery bank with isolation switches to control the power relay. But for a horde base, the generator is absolutely fine.

      Electricity isn't on the Xbox version of the game unfortunately. It hasn't been updated in 5 years.

    Base videos are too dark to really see what you did.
