Power Loss is Insane

[munchkin]

You lose power way too quickly in this game. Keeping your door down for 5 seconds can make you lose 10 percent. It's a little ridiculous considering what you put up with at higher difficulties. I find myself struggling with power when I have 2 animatronics at 10 each. Can we have a potential nerf with power loss? It's too difficult to manage vents, keeping the camera up, and closing doors when your electricity bill is on a shoestring. Thanks.

you do know you have a power generator? also your fan wastes power, you can turn it off.

Agreed.

I do know this, I even have a system with the fan that helps preserve even a little bit. Keep the fan off until 95 degrees, then turn it on until 60. Use RockStar Foxy whenever to save too. Even with this strategy, it's very difficult and I find myself at little to no power every time I finish a night.

I mean, you could always turn on the power generator to greatly slow the power drain, but yeah, the rate at which you lose power without it is a bit ridiculous.

Even with the power generator on, it screws a lot up. The noise is insane. I get its balance, but it just makes it more unbalanced.

My main issue with Power loss is in order to reduce it you need sound... And if you make sound then my boy Music man or Lefty are going to give you a slap across the face to shut up.
It wouldn't be too bad if Rockstar Foxy actually gave you more power, but otherwise abuse his sound proofing he offers to use your power generator and turn off your fan for maximum saving on your electricity bill!

Likewise you need to try and work on managing your power, OP. Trust me, 50/20 mode drains alot of power that before half way through you're going to look at your power and go "WOW, THAT'S ALOTTA DAMAGE!"

I'm trying to shed light on this horrible mechanic, i'm fine with power but... It's a point of insanity.

Yes, the noise kills me or the power still goes down quick enough.

Yeah it's a really big problem with those. It's too hard to survive nights with them.

[xX_Infernal_Wizard_Xx]

I agree. It drains way too fast.

Music man and Lefty's face when you abuse the power generator and make too much noise.

[Ender]

Yeah, what you do is turn on the power generator and turn off the fan, this saves HUGE amounts of power

[Steven4547466]

I find it just fine, you never need to have any door closed for longer than a second, at least if you do it properly, either way, I have the power generator active then when I get to around 100 degrees I turn on the AC once it gets around 80 degrees I switch back to power generator only turning it off if a noise sensitive animatronic is showing activity

Music Man is a pain but you can stop him from playing cymbals by keeping the noise low enough but LEFTY ON THE OTHER HAND
