Would it be possible to add boomboxes to this?

Should be free but the costs are pretty low, Those big radios came with cable AND option for batteries

@Natevater Definitely still works my guy. Need 2x Electrical Wire, 2x Scrap Electronics & a Screwdriver

Unfortunately, it would appear this is no longer working.

Using this in multiplayer, and after converting a Premium Technologies radio to AC power, it now only works when I am holding it. I equipped it to turn it on and set the station, then Placed it on a counter, but it does nothing. I only ever hear the emergency broadcast when I have the radio equipped. Is that how this mod is supposed to work or is this a bug/me doing something wrong?

great mod either way for me, it only every happened on his end (joining my game) , me as the host i never had this issue at all so im not sure what the reasons are but i love the idea and that radio that is still ac power is a life saver

hey, not sure exactly whats causing it but in multiplayer my friend encountered screen issues , everything weny extremly pixelated and discolored almost rainbowy , when we disabled this mod and only this one it stopped, so im not sure if its a conflict with other mods, just thought id let you know what happened (this was the only new addition to our mp game and when we disabled it went back to normal) however an interesting note is that after changing one radio to ac power (when the issues happened) and we removed the mod, the radio is still ac power now without the mod but the screen issue is gone, very strange

Arithmechick, I wanted to let you know that I translated your mod into Spanish., and I would greatly appreciate it if you could add the translations to your mods. Thank you. :p2cube:

yes it works perfectly in MP.
Plz add functionality to True Music boombox :))
Bliss ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Aug 10, 2023 @ 6:49pm 
Works on MP?
GamerCake Aug 1, 2023 @ 1:56pm 
Why is this not a vanilla function???
bruh Jul 27, 2023 @ 4:50am 
does this work on multiplayer?

Works wonderfully with military ham radios :steamthumbsup:
Gisbert Mar 20, 2023 @ 4:51pm 
Can confirm - works with HAM radio on existing server/save game. Very nice and logical addition to the game - thanks to creator! :)

@Jarin: You need to have 2 electronic scraps, 2 electric wires and the radio + screwdriver in your inventory, then a new option appears by right clicking on the radio (don't know if you need a specific skill level, I had 3 in electronics) - place down the radio again -> enjoy!

PS: As said, if not already integrated, skill requirement in electronics from about level ~2 for balance reasons would also be very welcome.

PSS: Boombox from "True Music" as option would definitely not wrong too.

Pure suggestions of course, should not seem intrusive, am very grateful for the feature - thank you very much!

Can confirm it's working with Military Radios, just tested in in Single-Player.
Katieclysm Mar 8, 2023 @ 10:05pm 
HAM radios are mentioned in the mod description, but I can't get it to work for them or military radios
williampayne832006 Feb 18, 2023 @ 5:50pm 
Does it not work on HAM radios? This is kinda what I got the mod for
M4TIx12 Jan 20, 2023 @ 9:12pm 
can do a version for the True Music Boombox pls?
Arithmechick  [author] Jan 16, 2023 @ 2:24pm 
Hmmm....Sounds like it might be a conflict with another mod. Have you tried it without any other mods installed? If you do, please let me know what you find out.
Acid Green Jan 16, 2023 @ 12:44pm 
a bunch of other mods causing errors but i can't find the AC power one
Arithmechick  [author] Jan 16, 2023 @ 11:31am 
@Acid Green Try searching for the words "Stack Trace" in console.txt
Acid Green Jan 16, 2023 @ 11:20am 
i can't find the error in the console log
Acid Green Jan 16, 2023 @ 11:20am 
When i right click a radio and click "convert radio to AC power", my character does something, then it throws out an error without wasting any resources nor converting the radio to AC power
Arithmechick  [author] Jan 15, 2023 @ 7:59pm 
@Acid Green Can you provide some more detail, maybe a snippet from the console log? Thanks!
Acid Green Jan 15, 2023 @ 9:19am 
throws out errors everytime i try to convert a radio to AC power
Arithmechick  [author] Jan 7, 2023 @ 8:19am 
@MC That’s a good idea! I’ll see what I can do.
MC at crafty theater Jan 7, 2023 @ 8:01am 
could you make this work with true music
XpaDDer Dec 15, 2022 @ 10:26am 
@arithmechick whoops, totally missed the tab, I leave the translation there!
Arithmechick  [author] Dec 15, 2022 @ 7:46am 
What are threads?
XpaDDer Dec 14, 2022 @ 11:55pm 
Hey there, can you allow threads? I have a translation for your mod
ジャッキー・ザ・トキ Nov 13, 2022 @ 2:20am 
Still works 13/November 22
Arithmechick  [author] Nov 4, 2022 @ 8:09am 
@Goey Sorry about removing the lightbulbs mod. I failed to realize that not everyone is running the beta branch. I've just re-uploaded it. :-)
Jimi Nov 1, 2022 @ 9:11am 
Keep That Radio On Lite mod does not conflict with this mod
Goey Oct 29, 2022 @ 12:34am 
Why do you removed the Better Lightbulbs Mod?
PaddiSson_ Oct 20, 2022 @ 5:09am 
Mod works well in multiplayer !
Jimi Oct 12, 2022 @ 4:45pm 
Keep That Radio On mainly affects walkie-talkies so that they still function even when worn on belt or when you place them in the world. I think it may also work on radios when you turn them on and unequip them or place them down. When I have both mods active in MP the tooltip on radios reads Keep That Radio On
Arithmechick  [author] Oct 12, 2022 @ 2:30pm 
They do the same thing, no?
Jimi Oct 12, 2022 @ 7:43am 
@arithmechick so where should I nag for a compatibility update? :) which mod you think could/should be edited to accommodate for the other?
Arithmechick  [author] Oct 12, 2022 @ 7:39am 
@Jimi Yes, that’s probably the problem.
K1LLFACE79 Oct 11, 2022 @ 11:55pm 
Awesome mod! It really would be awesome for this to work with true music boombox!
Jimi Oct 11, 2022 @ 9:23am 
Is it possible that this mod is incompatible with Keep That Radio On ??
Jimi Oct 11, 2022 @ 5:05am 
This was not the case when I first activated the mod in previous runs, but in my current run and the one before all the radios I'm finding in the world are already connected to the grid and do not have a battery in them. Even when I pick them up it's still the same. Help? I'll not be able to find any batteries this way!
Arithmechick  [author] Oct 4, 2022 @ 9:14am 
Not yet, but that’s a great idea! I’ll see what I can do!
K1LLFACE79 Oct 4, 2022 @ 3:51am 
does it work on True Music Boombox?
Arithmechick  [author] Sep 19, 2022 @ 6:48am 
Haha, thank you ✈️!!

That’s a great idea, I can certainly add a recipe to convert back to battery power! Keep an eye out for the update!
Sep 19, 2022 @ 12:25am 
As my survivor progress, I keep finding the need to add more mods and I keep stumbling across yours. First it was the lightbulb, now the bleach and radio. Thanks for doing the tweaking for us!

The description doesn't mention it but is it possible to convert back?
Arithmechick  [author] Sep 17, 2022 @ 8:02am 
@PaddiSson It should be, although I haven’t tested it. Let me know if you have any issues!
PaddiSson_ Sep 17, 2022 @ 7:32am 
Is the mod compatible with MP dedicated server?
Tlacuache Vengador Sep 11, 2022 @ 4:33pm
