Electronics completely useless ?

[Serverpirat]

You can build some lights... hmm torches are sufficient as light source and consume only cheap wood.

You can build a refridgerator... but why ? I farm more meat than me or my pets could ever eat !

You can build an auto turret... misses every 2nd shot and does 7 damage per hit. ROFL.

So what exactly is the benefit of electricity ?

Sophistication

[hishido]

you feel better inside?

[Ceranai]

the fridge is more for raw prime meat than normal meat. Electric lights are better, air con meand you use less food and water. Maybe not worth quite worth the oil but there are still big benefits to them

[stunner]

Fridge is great for storing the food created from recipes, the ones that protect from heat or cold or let you breathe underwater for ages or hit harder etc.

These last for days in the fridge but only a few hours elsewhere.

You don't get those benefits from mere meat.

I would like to see more dmg from the turrets to help fight raiders make it harder to raid peoples bases. Maybe increased damage to flyers even since they can avoid spikes.

Freidges also make grown veggies last much longer and dino eggs last 200 days in them. Dodo farms baby.

Lights are nice for keeping rooms / your base lit up at night without the need of torches. Considering you can have un unlimited amount of things hooked up to one generator and how efficient gas is in the generator a couple min of oil farming could keep your base lit for days.

However you are right electronics / pearls are not something you will need to g out and farm on a daily basis as most things made with them are perm unless destroyed or lost. I pretty much spent a hour or so farmed about 300 pearls and they have lasted me a long time.

But the same could be said for things like polymer once you build the things that need it you dont really need it anymore aside from some gun repairs

[Resolute]

Really need to be able to make solar panels and batteries. There is just no justifying teh oil use of the generator at the moment.

[Arsenic_Touch]

Flashlight attachments for infinite light. GPS for those that are terrible at navigation, meat preservation, yeah electronics are so pointless.

gotta be honest guns seem a little pointless in PvE and auto turrets even moreso....kinda wish they would increase the damage to dino's in PvE oh and like make the range on these bad boys 50 tiles in PvP as the miss a ♥♥♥♥ ton lol

Had my Generator running 24/7 for the last 3 days. Used around 50-60 gas. And oil is super easy to get.

yes 300% oxygen/ox. recipe, or a mega with a saddle and pen to keep it safe easy >.>

[Serverpirat]

Yes electricity is pointless.

Fridge = is ok to preserve the special food
Auto Turret = no damage, no tracking = trash
Electric lamps = nice but no need to have

1 gas last for 30 min, its what 3 oil for 5 gas? I have 200 o2 a mega and the chowder I can sit under water for like 10 min at a time and farm a couple hundred oil.

it got to the point where I got tired of building the electric lines and just made more generators and a couple perserving bins to clean up the wire clutter and backed up oil I had.

Right now the oil use is fine you only need to spend a hour or so a week to get enough to run generators for days.

as I said

3 oil = 5 gas
1 gas = 30 min in a generator
5 gas = 2 1/2 IRL hours of power

a single oil node will give 5-15 oil you do the math

actually its 3 oil, 5 hides for 5 gas....a forge, burning material(sparkpowder or wood)...your forgetting all the other investments lol
