Description:

Originally i just wanted to make a small mod that makes it possible to power an entire building with generators, yeah "just" "small", zomboid said no.

You get all info from a Lightswitch when the building has power(Generator -> Connect to building -> Turn on).

Features:

  • Link up to 10 Generators to a Building (they still have their 20×20 vanilla radius too, so you could place them around your building for more coverage outside)
  • Supports -3 to +16 z level
  • Access to Building Power management on any Lightswitch in a powered building
  • Link Barrels/Rain Collectors to your Generator pool for extra fuel storage.
  • Power grid Extends 3 tiles over the building so you can have some appliances outside (Range varies cause of how zomboid handles squares)
  • Power strain system, if you have not enough generators for the size of the building you will need more fuel since your
    generator has to work in overdrive (still lacks the feature for more damage taken when high strain)
  • Fuel efficency system (When there is no strain you get a bonus for linking multiple generators to save fuel)
  • If you are not sure which generator is damaged and dont want to search you can click the generator in the window and you will walk to it.
  • Powered player buildings (You can have multiple self built buildings, just connect them with a built floor)
  • Powered player build annexes on vanilla buildings
  • Simple Heating System to keep you warm and cozy in these cold days ahead (Thermostat with setting, needs to be balanced, i think more fuel consumption would be ok since its an important aspect)
    Deactivate the heating in the thermostat while grid power is still on to save fuel.
  • Sandbox-settings for Heating
  • Working placeable Vanilla Lightswitches, see video 2.


Incompatibilities:

– Generator Range (Breaks the building coverage overlay, not rly an issue if you prefer the vanilla radius)
– No known issues yet (iam sure you guys will find a ton lol)


Compatible:
