Build Your Own Generator

Description
Update (Dec 12th 2023)
  • Added 1x Spare Engine Parts to the recipe ingredients.
  • Time to craft increased from 100 to 1000.
  • Added compatiblity checks for mods that remove a loot table used by the magazine.
  • Added compatibility check for mods that remove the electrician profession.



Update (Nov 20th 2022)
  • Generators are now created with random condition. With +1% condition for each point in electrical skill, metalworking skill, and mechanics skill.



Update (Nov 18th 2022)
  • lowered generator weight from 30 to 25
  • generator can be built with materials from the ground (CanBeDoneFromFloor:True)



This mod adds a "Build Generator" recipe, and a "Build You Own Generator" magazine .

The recipe is acquired by reading the magazine (or being Electrician). It also requires level 6 electrical and level 4 metalworking. It is in the "Electrical" tab of the Crafting Menu.

The "Build Your Own Generator" magazine can be found anywhere you could find the "How to use generators" magazine, with slightly less chance. And the "Build Your Own Generator" magazine also teaches you how to use generators, so if you find it, you won't need to find the other. So basically, your chances of finding a generator magazine are almost doubled.



The recipe requires :
  • A hammer
  • A screwdriver
  • A blowtorch (10 units) and a welding mask
  • A wrench OR a pipe wrench
  • 1x Empty gas can
  • 1x Spare engine parts (new from Dec 2023 update)
  • 1x Welding rods
  • 8x Wire
  • 8x Electronics Scrap
  • 4x Electric Wire
  • 2x Metal Pipe
  • 4x Scrap Metal
  • 2x Metal Sheet
  • 4x Small Metal Sheet



Credits to that one guy on reddit u/MightyWaddles for the idea, and to that one electrician guy on reddit u/rabbitolo who came up with the recipe.

Is there also sandbox options to adjust recipe and skill requirements? I'd like to make it harder to build and require more materials.

@david162 the recipe now also requires 1x spare engine parts

@Ryan I never had that error in vanilla, you must have been using mods that delete a loot table where my mod tried to insert the magazine. Anyway, I added many checks to make sure it can't happen anymore.

The recipe should include a motor

faz uma versão de geradores antigos, com partes de motores, um gerador de motor de carro muito mais barulhento e toxico, com uma textura nova. tipo você tem a opção de criar mas os efeitos negativos e muito maior que o gerador comum.
