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."

Is this fixed? "Works as intended paired with bikinitools. Only "problem" I've come across is once the power and water shut off and I reactivate them, they shut off again every time I restart my server. Easy fix to hop back on the admin character and switch them both off and on again.

It's not working in normal single player (not sandbox) not even with bikinitools

cant get it to work any tips (mp server)

Hey had this packaged in a collection I was using and I accidentally turned the power off I turned it back on but now I'm worried my original settings for power have been set to never turn off. so my question is if I turn the power back on will it stay on for the same amount of time as dictated for settings or is it forever?

Update: It's not doing the same thing in a different game. Might have been a mod order/conflict.

*Mod works as intended paired with bikinitools.

I literally just want a timer indicator of how long till water/electricity goes off.... Surprised n one has made that.
Jefuty Dec 1, 2023 @ 1:41pm 
For those that are getting unknown command, I set the mod load order to the very top.
DregSmoker Dixie Nov 21, 2023 @ 9:44am 
Same issue

Hi, about a mouth ago I had a issue and just for now I test and guess that's because this mod.
The issue is things in fridge go bad very quick when the refrigerator efficiency is set to the highest, changing efficiency will make it slower but still higher than normal.
By the testing, I think the reason of this issue is using this mod to turn the power on after the power has been turn down natural.
I have test with only this mod, mod manager and a mod to see food expiry

got a problem i take this mod and now the electricity come back at all restart
adam06play Jul 21, 2023 @ 2:50am 
Does this mod basically makes water and power never go out?
Denmonari Jun 12, 2023 @ 10:29am 
Unfortunately, every time I start the server I have to turn it off again.
Any way to keep the power and water off?
exaraj Jun 4, 2023 @ 10:44pm 
Interesting. If I add this mod, do I need to start a new game or will this mod integrate and work in an existing run?
bikinihorst  [author] May 10, 2023 @ 12:25am 
Thanks for asking but I do not want any of my stuff repacked. This mod hasn't been updated in a long time and I don't even know if it ever will receive another update so the point of adding it to a pack is kind of moot anyway.

Alright, thanks thats what im looking for.
bikinihorst  [author] Apr 29, 2023 @ 2:24pm 
Yes
CasualPLayer_Gaming Apr 29, 2023 @ 10:15am 
Just so I'm understanding this correctly, this mod will give me the ability to have the water and power never go out?
bikinihorst  [author] Apr 24, 2023 @ 1:02am 
i am glad it works for you but this mod is standalone and does not need btse. i was referring to the context menu positioning. if you are using the regular bikinitools the water and power stuff is added to that context menu instead of standalone. btse has water and power commands too, if you enable chat (for the command) and tools submods.
Eggplatnm Apr 23, 2023 @ 1:57pm 
Got it figured out now. I had to add the BikiniTools SE. Then it loaded properly and works. Thank you for the help
bikinihorst  [author] Apr 23, 2023 @ 10:12am 
the mod works fine in MP and if you're neither the command is working nor the context entry (which can also be in bikinitools if you have that) shows, then the mod is not loaded.
Eggplatnm Apr 23, 2023 @ 9:58am 
I double checked it, and I have entries in for it under both the workshop ID and the mod ID and it still doesn't result differently. I also tried doing a host option from in game on my main pc and loading the mod in there, but it didn't know the command still.
bikinihorst  [author] Apr 23, 2023 @ 7:40am 
you might be missing the workshop item id. mp needs an entry in the workshop item list as well as the mod id.
Eggplatnm Apr 23, 2023 @ 6:26am 
I have a dedicated server being hosted from a spare PC. When I load into single player the mod works great, but when on the server, it says unknown command, as well as the context menu is does not appear when in admin mode. I copied the mod ID into the server properties file, i'm not sure what i'm missing
fuqu Apr 7, 2023 @ 12:29pm 
I immediately closed my game to come give a like, this worked simple and flawlessly. thank you. :cherrypie:
bikinihorst  [author] Mar 4, 2023 @ 11:21am 
the last update was in december and it won't be updated anymore. there is no conceivable reason to have it in a modpack as all the usual reasons like updates and stability can be discarded, so that is a "no" on the repacking
LineTinzer Mar 4, 2023 @ 11:19am 
Hi! Can I use this mod on my server's modpack? I'll wait on your answer. Thanks.
bikinihorst  [author] Jan 29, 2023 @ 9:11am 
oh damn, i forgot to post the bin file thing here. here's evelyn's post about it, on the official discord: https://discord.com/channels/136501320340209664/1067210244159193108
Nalmighty Jan 29, 2023 @ 9:08am 
The problem with settings sounds like a common issue with the Map_sand.bin file, search up on DC about it. that file will rollback your sandbox settings unless you the delete the file and then make the sandbox changes.
bikinihorst  [author] Jan 23, 2023 @ 1:08am 
it's a very simple mod but "not working for me" is not enough for anybody really to guess what's wrong. start with a game mode, then continue (if mp) with the info if you're admin, then tell me all about how you activated this mod in the first place (mod menu, server hosting menu and so on) and lastly if you have bikinitools installed (which moves it in its menu). maybe re-reading the description gives you a hint on what's wrong.
