I wondered about that, as running a server with multiple bases that use a variety of electricity stirs up the server a bit.

yeah i got the same problems on mine. In A16 it was way worse tho. Solar Panels could render a Server broken. i think in the first two weeks of Experimental we had to wipe 10 times. That was "fun". Still refuse to use solar in the game because of that Trauma :D

Shock doors would be cool! when they attack them they get shocked!


and maybe their could be a "Industrial generator" It is basically a Super strong generator But it takes more gas, Its louder, and it Hard to craft!

Both good ideas.

My wish would be for an electrical kind of door that only gets opened with a switch. especially in Prefabs this could be immersive and forces you to go looking for that damn switch Doom-style.

Hmmm... a more "powerful" generator can be done through xml. Does having less connections and more power from a source help with performance?

Hahaha, I never tried out the electricity until A18 came around. I avoided it when it first came around for the reason of "trauma." 😛

 
There's a book that allows the player for a chance of harvesting honey from trees. Does anyone know if this percentage is based on per hit to the tree, or if the game decides that x tree will give you honey and x tree will not in advance? If it's the former, I'll be using the chainsaw from now on.

you only get one honey and its random, so if you uses a stone axe or a chain saw, it does not change the chance or the amount!



Also 2 more days till the 28th! :)

Oh well, better drink the Homemade hooch to stay awake!

I'm pretty sure it's per hit, 5% chance. I got 2 honey from a tree once

 
Can't comment on whether you can get two.  I suspect that's from the bonuses of Motherload, and see no reason it couldn't give it to you.  But I doubt its 5% per hit, else you'd get one nearly every time cut down a tree with a stone ax or chainsaw.  Might even resort to punching!

Its not entirely relatable, but I had the same question about getting radiators and engines and batteries from cars after an extremely unlucky run of 20+ cars with no engines using a T6 impact driver. 

So I went to creative, spawned in 40 cars, and pulled them apart with a modded super-driver that 1-shot each level of the car, then repeated with a Q1 wrench.  It's not a statistically significant test, but I did get with 1-2 results from each run, out of all three types: batteries engines, radiators.  In fact, it was so close, it was almost suspicious.

In any case, I determined (to my own satisfaction) that I got the appropriate number of special items regardless of how many hits it took to get through each layer of the car.  That tells me they determine it at some point, but I'm not sure when.  Last hit?  First hit?  What if someone else hits the car first, then I do?  Does it even matter?  Does the game store that decision in case I don't tear it down, and then log out, and the server restarts?  Why do I even care, since I normally have more than I need of each of them?  Because, I just do!!

If the magnum book series is still labeled under the 44 magnum, perhaps it would be a worthy idea to expand the terminology to include the desert vulture? "44 firearm" book series for instance.

The Vulture is a magnum.

It says 5% in the block.xml

    <drop event="Harvest" name="foodHoney" prob=".05" count="1" tag="WasteTreasuresHoneyHarvest"/>

I guess I didn't get 2 from one tree, but i did one time cut down about 6 and ended up with 3 honey 😕

When they think of a magnum, they probably picture an Old West style type of revolver

I think this is why a lot of people just play dead is dead now. 

Sometimes dead is better!

I'd like to know this too! My ditsy lil brain tells me that each tree has a percent chance to give honey once you have the book lol. I don't have a brain for math, it's quite beyond my comprehension lmao.  😅

@Laynie According to other forum members here, the XMl's state that every time you hit a tree it's a 5% chance that you'll get one honey, although I'm unsure if it's limited to one honey per tree or not, although I find this to be the more likely scenario. So if you want to extract the maximum amount per harvest, use a chainsaw vs a steel axe. :)
