Generator range/boost

[Taftus]

Hey guys I see you are only allow to place 3 generator close each other but still that is not good enough to cover a large base. Is there a way to modify the range of generator or let you put more then 3 in same area?

I know you can do that if you play SP like in game.ini file? But what about if you have a dedicated server running. I have tried and put in "LimitGeneratorsNum=3" to "LimitGeneratorsNum=0" in gameusersettings that does not seems to do the trick.

Is there another way without using a mod? I would prefer to keep server without mod.
Cheers!

They probably did that to stop large bases on purpose. but i hear you they should bring outlets back and use them as range boosters. im having the same problem on my SP since i dont have the tek generator which has a larger AOE.

my guess would be that setting it to 0 for limit in the area wouldnt work, setting it to, for example 10, would seeing as most other inis that have 'limit' will increase with a bigger number.

I use LimitGeneratorsNum=5 and that works, increase number

I just want to increase the range. WC ruined the game with this new mechanic. Put wires back in!

It's kinda weird they'd make the tanks boost water rnge from the intake but nothing for electrical... even at the cost of more gas as to make it harder to have a larger base

In singleplayer my solution was to remove the generator limit, by setting LimitGeneratorsNum=0. Then spam generators where needed, then increase fuel consumption interval to 5, to compensate me for the extra fuel usage.

Edit: while googling a solution to this I came across a post that suggested there was a LimitGeneratorsRange setting for the game.ini, with the default value being 15000. I added it to my game.ini, increased the value to 32000, but no change, so it doesn't seem to work. Maybe it's supposed to work but just bugged.

Not sure how it works on singleplayer but on dedicated server there is nothing in game.ini file. I even added in there but it does nothing. Everything seems to be more focusing on gameusersetting.ini file.

Singleplayer or on dedicated server?
