I updated and added the fusebox to this mod for A17 B240:

https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?69799-Junction-Box-Block

This adds four blocks to the game. One is the small fusebox, a larger Control Panel, an electrical box, and a Concrete Block (that upgrades to steel) to hide all those pesky wires.

There's recipes and you need Advanced Engineering lvl 2 to unlock them.

Edit: Updated progression.xml; it was incorrect, thanks Puschpa!

Also updated again, because for some reason I had an extra c in the recipies.xml

2nd Update: Added electrical box.

3rd Update: Allows upgrading concrete junction block to steel.

Added pics

The A17 version will work in A18, but dcsobral was kind enough to update it fully to A18. Link to the post and to their updated version below:

In your progressions.xml, the block JunctionBoxfusebox_Player is listed twice for learning, one of them should be JunctionBoxPanel_Player.

Thank you! I've updated the file with the corrected progression.xml.

 
Not sure if it is intended, but it lets you upgrade the concrete block with steel and then it just becomes a regular steel block. Loses the ability to be a switch.

 
And also, just as feedback, changing where the visible wire attaches to the fusebox from a gen would look better. It just kind of floats out in front of it at the moment.

And possibly adding the red/green light from the vanilla switch to the fusebox(haven't tried the panel yet) so you can easily tell if it is on or off would be nice.

Still, loving the new options!

I am really new to modding, so I will have to get back to you on some of those options. I did add the option to upgrade the concrete fuse block to steel, then stainless steel. There are no recipes for the steel or stainless steel blocks. I can add them, if there was interest.

Are these functional or just decorative?

They are functional. You can hook up wires from a battery bank or generator to them, then hook them to lights or traps.

I don't have a video, but I could post some pictures if that's good for you.

 
What I meant was, once you upgrade it from concrete to steel, it loses functionality. It just turns into a regular block, no longer letting you attach a wire to it. I don't mind upgrading it after I craft it. And it isn't a huge deal not being able to upgrade it anyway. Just wanting you to know it is bugged at the moment. :smile-new:

No worries :) I got your meaning. I updated it so that when you make the concrete junction box block, you can (if you want to) upgrade it to steel or stainless steel and it will not lose the functionality of being able to hook wires to it.

 
love this mod but when i use it with the A17 more lights mod all my junction boxes turn into lights...lol i can find anything that ties them together can anyone help?

What lights do they turn into? I'm using more lights as well and am not having this happen. You could add a 1 to the beginning of folder name of this mod. It would make it load before the more lights mod. I went and looked back through the files and we're not using the same names for anything, so I'm not certain why it would cause an issue.

 
i had this mod first then i later added the more lights mod and restarted server and when i logged in the junction boxes were light fixtures ...was kinda funny ... i also tried the working sinks and ovens and the same thing happened i logged and and my junction boxes turned into ovens and sinks hanging from ceiling and on the walls...lol so i removed the oven mod and the lights mod and all back to normal... i will try again with the folder name with a 1 and will let you know
