Water shutoff setting [B42]
Hey everyone,
I'm playing around with sandbox settings on my playthroughs and wanted to go for an easier run with guaranteed water/electricity for the first 15 days.

I've set the usual 0-30 shutoff and then added the modifier for both: electricity & water, setting it at 15.

On day 2 the water went out. What am I doing wrong or not understanding about this setting? It's either I'm doing something wrong or it's simply not working as intended.

Thanks in advance for any advice

in the period of 0-30 is the chance your water and electricity is shut down, when you add the setting at day 15, that is the maximum day it will be shut down.

if you want max day 15, you should enable the setting: 30 days to 2 months, on a setting like this your max datum setting will be the one that cause the shutdown
Hey Dex, gotcha - I got it the wrong way it seems then.

The modifier does not change the minimum shutoff date it's the opposite. Thanks a lot.
