Generator, light and wire guide ?

[Bheeetch]

Any guide ? Cant find nothing on that.

Haven't seen a guide but the setup of them is pretty simple. All wires connect to generator on either side leading out to where you have something to be powered. The receptacle attaches to the end of the wire providing power to unpowered devices. Any device in close proximity to the receptable box has a wire automatically routed to the unpowered device. Then all you've gotta do is kick on the generator by loading it up with gas in it's inventory and turn on.

Doesn't seem like theirs a limit to how much load a generator can handle I ran 1 fridge,2 airconditioners and 6 lights off one. So basically electricity has the same principle of setup as the water does: Similarities are as follows: intake pipe(generator) electric wires (water pipes) receptacle (water tap) electrical devices (plant boxes).

I have 2 bases that need electricity, but cant seem to get it working its been a while now. I have a generator, a few AC untis, and some refridgerators as well as some outlet boxes placed on the floor around the generator. But when I go to place the cables, I cant see them because they are in the floor, so I have no way of being able to place them. I tried to just guess where things were and hope I got lucky, but it didnt work and everything still says its "unpowered", please help.

I start with a generator, put a inclined wire, put a straigh wire , distribution box . light, freezer etc go near the box.

When you go to place the straight cables, are they stuck in the floor, or on top of the floor???

I haven't ever looked and am running basically the same off of mine as you are on yours (except only two lights, but I ever only use one because they're so bright and it's not on all the time), but my thinking is that the more you have on the circuit, the faster the generator burns through gas? Either way, there still should be an absolute limit to how many devices a single generator can power.

Ok this is crazy, I have to use the ghost command, so I can see into my floors, just to put the wires in....this needs fixed badly its much to crazy just to be able to see the wires you put in your base since they are all stuck in the floor.

so is no one going to address the fact the wires are made at a fabricator but the fabricator needs power? how do you start crafting wire?

Fabricator will run on gas if you have no power for it.

Because the vanilla fabricator doesn't run of electricity to begin with
