tapczan Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Hi brilliant devs and community, What do you think of making generators more "real" in sense of their adjust-ability ? The most of the real ones have power level switches where you can choose if you want it to generate eg. 100W,200W, 300W or 2000W etc... depending on the setting it would consume the right amount of fuel. Also, it would be great to have a "info" option on electrical home appliances like freezers, fridges, ovens etc. to see the tech specs and power consumption. You could set some fixed values for lights. I know that currently the generator consumes fuel according to the amount of devices connected but that a bit unrealistic.

gamatos Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 On the other hand, this would just add more busywork and micromanagement that isn't really fun for everybody. So my addition would be, if your suggestion does get implemented, that at least there is an "AUTO" switch position (that keeps the current generator behavior) or a related setting at the game's options.

numbersixthecat Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Isn't this, like, kind of how it already works? If you dig in the forum you'll see that somebody made a lot of testing with generators and wrote a series of posts about it. Turns out that the average hourly gas consumption is proportional to the number of connected appliances (but not actually taking into account the actual power draw, as this would be a bit too complex).
