Causing a power conduit overload

[3 Ducks In a Man Suit]

Is there a way to cause a power conduit to overload/explode on demand/in a specific spot?

[BlackSmokeDMax]

Dev mode, maybe?

I don't think so. You could use Dev Mode to trigger the event but I don't think you can pick where exactly. Why do you want to a power conduit to short circuit and explode?

It has come to my attention that when a short circuit happens inside one of my little single-room cave dwellings, the temperature inside jumps up to several hundred degrees farenheit instantaneously, and it seems like a highly entertaining method of execution if I could amke it happen on demand.

You can determine where you want the explosion to happen actually but it is a bit of a pain to do.

All you have to do is only place down wires where you want the explosion to occur and no where else and then when the next zzrrtt event happens (randomly or not) BOOM!!

Now the only poblem is getting a connection between the generator, an appropriate amount of batteries to create your desired explosion, as well as the (optimally) single piece of wire in a moslty/fully sealed room.

Does anyone know if a geothermal generator can act like a wall for a room? If so it would make it alot easier to accomplish this trick then.

put a sun lamp outside, power it and wait for rain. The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lite up like motar shells.
Found out when i first tryed the thing and didn't figured out indoor growing yet.

The problem with that though is that you need an unroofed spot in the room which would let out any heat you might try to generate via the electrical explosion.

You could also vent all the heat from a bunch of Power generators into a single room, OR maybe even use airconditioners to heat a room to absurd high levels (not sure if that works though)

if your reason is to stop raiders, then you can achieve a similar result by creating a room with lots of wood or combustible items. when the raid comes, throw a molatov or use some kind of incendiary weapon on the room. As the raiders enter and the room continues to burn, they will heat up.

(keep the door locked from the other side...you can also create a situation where you lock a door from the side where they entered also, so that they cannot even leave the room at all)
