Arcane Thesis

With another survivor on the server, we've combed the entire mall and couldn't find a vanilla generator. How far away was your generator from the solar one when you ran into this? Could a barbecue or any other devices count as a generator for this purpose?

So I'm trying to use my new solar generator to power a small section of the mall where my base is, and I'm finding that the power occasionally cuts out. I can fix it for a little by turning it on and off again, but it doesn't last forever. This wouldn't be a huge problem for me (though food going bad in the fridge when I'm not at base is a pain), but the rest of the server doesn't have the electricity to do it when I'm not online and they're trying to play. What causes this? Is there a limited number of things (lights, tvs, fridges, stoves), that a solar generator can power? I asked an admin to spawn in a second in the same location to test this theory, and it didn't have any impact. Is this a bug, or do solar generators have a 'charge' that can only cover so much and eventually it runs out and needs to be restarted?

May I ask where to find that option? I've been looking around and haven't seen anything. Is it a server option or an individual player's options? Thank you so much for your help

The server I'm on is 37.14, I just figured it was a general issue because the site was still displaying that recipe so I thought it was a coding issue of every recipe needing to have some guaranteed result. If that's just an issue with an old version of Zomboid/Hydrocraft, then should be no problem. The version also blows up Hydrocraft assets to double size, but I knew that was just a version issue, I didn't know undeniable was out of date too. (I just got really far so I didn't want to lose the server to update, thanks so much for all your hard work, by the way)

I may well do that. What's missing is that the 'cut pizza' recipe producing a pizza stone when you use it, so I suspect that's an oversight.

I admit, most of my info on the mod has come from the undeniable.info website, and while it's 95% correct, there is still that 5%. It seems to suggest that much like a bowl or cooking pot, finishing a pizza should produce a pizza stone: http://undeniable.info/pz/wiki/item.php?Name=HCTastypizzabaked See the 'When Use Changes Into' section. The recipes on this website for gather flora, open mystery seed packet or catch bugs also include those objects as the 'guaranteed' result, whereas the varied possibilities are in the 'possible' result section. I know it sounds like a bug, but everything that's happening to me is described on that website accurately.

Don't you get it back when you eat the pizza? I still get it, especially when you can't make one by any means other than scavenging, but it's gone. I have to say one thing I find frustrating is the things that are created and stockpile from some activities. If I'm gathering flora, I end up finding myself quickly completely encumbered with dozens of tree fieldguides. If I'm catching bugs, I'm stockpiling dozens of magnifying glasses out of nowhere. Heck, you can 'open all' with mystery seed packets and just be weighed down with hundreds of seed packets, because each 'open packet' generates another mystery seed packet, meaning if you get two, you are an infinite fount of seeds. The first one is easily the most frustrating because of how heavy they are. Well, it may not be necessary with Panda's response, but yes, I did reach the second floor no problem.

I can say that my solar generator (located at the red circle) covers the entirety of the guest/guard lodge in the Rosewood Prison. I'm not sure if solar generators have a different radius, but I haven't gotten any lighting in the wallway, but there simply may be no lights there.

When I was messing around on the admin account I had the same thing happen, but that was because it has infinite carry capacity. It may have just messed up, and if you were standing atop the ground with the other log stack, it may have read that space's capacity as being 1000/50 and forced it into your inventory. I'm glad restarting fixed that.

For my own sake, I'm curious about how farming works, because the undeniable wiki isn't properly representative of this, and the in-game crafting isn't clear. I grinded my way to Farming 10, and I eagerly made some planters to make use of my stockpiled seeds. I sowed some seeds and it creates a 'small potted lemon tree', which isn't listed on undeniable, and I'm not sure how long it'll grow, whether I have to water it, or how to even water it. Clearly it can die, because on the in-game crafting menu, 'dead X plant' is clearly a thing, but I'm not sure how they end up dying. Is there a place I can look to see how long it'll take each plant to grow/how to take care of them till they're at the 'Ready' stage for harvesting? On a side note, I was running into issues where my small plants would disappear when everyone is logged off the multiplayer server I'm on, but that may be because of the edition we're on (v37.14, which also ends up doubling every Hydrocraft asset in size, but that's not a huge deal)

Hey Jonno Zomboid (sorry, I'm not sure how to quote properly) You need to remove the can's label, because while it's called 'Tin Can', that's really just to organize it better in your inventory. The code name is still 'HCTinnedsoupempty' for example. http://undeniable.info/pz/wiki/recipe.php?ID=1073 Perform this recipe and your Tin Cans will become Tincans.
