Water Gathering and Power generation!

[Object704]

Hi,

I have read the commonly suggested features section and I wanted to expand on these two ideas. Please make your suggestions as well. Perhaps we can make a good collection of ideas here. 

 

Ideas; 

 

- Water gathering from rivers, streams and lakes.

- Water purification methods, such as purification tablets, boiling water etc.

- Gas canisters and a portable camping stove to boil the water with? 

 

 

- Power generation from a generator

- Take fuel from gas/fuel stations and cars (once they're in the game) to power the generator for your house. 

- To avoid the generator making too much noise, perhaps the player could build an extension to their house underground?

 

- Perhaps a make-do idea of kinetic energy generation from pedaling a bike, for example.

- Of course making the make-do system you'd need to implement new skills such as engineering to construct the system - perhaps different levels of "engineering" so you can optimise the system, as you increase in level, so that it uses less power to power the house each level?

 

 

Not solid ideas, but suggestions to make these ideas better are always welcome! .

Hey, there!

 

Those are some good ideas and have actually been suggested a few times. I'll give you some links to older discussions so you can check out what people have already thought/suggested about those ideas.

 

Water/boiling purification etc.:

Just in case you don't yet know, you can already build a campfire and cook food etc on it.

As you said you've checked the Common suggestions thread it has listed generators as yes, so that means they are coming. The siphoning from stations and cars have also been suggested a few times, mainly with talk about cars. Also basements have been comfirmed a yes, so that's covered. I would like the idea of muffled noise with stuff being used there as you said though. Here's a couple of links on the topics:

The pedal thing was actually just suggested a few posts below this one, here: http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/8285-human-generated-electricity/

 

All in all good ideas, but there's always someone that has beat you to it. A friendly suggestion and a good habit is to give the search bar a go and see if similar threads pop up.

 

Last but not least, welcome to the forums!! (clyde) Glad to have ya!

Awesome, thanks for the information! I will definitely take a quick look at these to see if I can put anything towards their suggestions.

 

I know what you mean about somebody already beating you to the suggestion lol. Better luck next time, eh? xDD. 

 

 

Thanks anyway .

I would love to see different stores show up.

Or a sciencey type business that might have things like storage batteries and solar panels or something. Have it be very limited and things.
