[B41] Water and power controls

Description
What is this?

A simple mod that allows turning water and power on and off again via chat commands or via context menu. This does not save the original values so if this is important to you, the obvious usage would be for after the water / power is already off.


How do I use this?

SINGLE PLAYER: use the context menu when right clicking anywhere in the world. If you are using bikinitools you will find Water and Power controls there.

MULTIPLAYER: You need to be admin to do this. Just enter this in the normal chat box or use the context menu entries and you're set.

/globalpower on|off /globalwater on|off


My self built house is not powered!

Yes. What the game considers "powered" only applies for pre-baked building definitions, meaning things that were there when the world was made are powered, not the rest and especially not player construction.


Is it safe to add / remove?

Yes, absolutely. I don't know how long water and power will stay on, but I don't think anybody is ever going to find out because it is a LONG time. In theory it should be infinite. The sandbox settings used will stay, so even after you remove the mod, the changes made here will stay too.


Credits

The original idea for how to turn on the power in a shut down world came from talks with TwentyFree.

I can't add you as a co-author because friend requests are not accepted on Steam.

@RedLink-kam no, like it says on the description but I see you did it anyway already.

Can I adapt this mod to version 42.x and upload it to the workshop?

For those of you looking for a solution in B42, you can change your sandbox settings so that ElecShutModifier and WaterShutModifier are really high numbers, and those utilities will stay on for that number of days. I did this in a server where the power and water had already shut off and they turned back on when I restarted.

Doesnt seem to work on an existing save. New game is fine but I cannot get it to work on my current save.

so i found a fix (aka turning water and power back on) for this you have to go into the game files and change them it is pretty easy i used chatgpt to tell me how to do it if that tells you how easy it is to do

Did this and it worked beautifully! Thank you so much!! I deleted the "map_sand.bin" and adjusted the sandbox settings afterwards. (It also worked for other settings that weren't sticking after reboot.)

"for all those people who have issues with reboots and see mods responsible for that: there is a core bug in pz that does not properly save sandbox vars and freezes them in an older version. many servers have taken to remove the file "map_sand.bin" in the savegame when the server reboots to account for that."
