Power Generators in Base
« on: October 21, 2010, 01:22:59 pm »

What if those power generators required a special fuel to run, and would light up the base? Meaning, if there was no fuel the base will be all dark, especially the inhouse enviroments, and maybe the workbench woulding work. The Special fuel would need to be bought in town and only for caps, so the more bases the bigger the cost. Also, one could turn off the power to save the fuel, so, the very small gangs that dont play much wouldint have to pay for unused power.

The point of this is to return some money into the NPC world.

Maybe that is planned usage of generator in abandoned bunker base. It is all dark and by repairing the generator it says "not implemented".

Well, i would not say that its about logic that way. Its like saying, how can plasma be fired from a weapon? come on :) The goal is what is the main core of the idea, that the money goes back, the more bases you have (the richer you are) the more the costs. Workbench could need a light to work, otherwise you wont see anything. If on day time, the generator could stop producing light automaticly :)

Anyways its just an idea  8)

Actually it must require a lot of electricity. You don't make bullet casings or shaped metal parts for guns&armor fast without powerdrills, electric cutting devices and grinders.

There is something like this on TLA. Bases are visible on the maps and to protect them, you have to refuel a force field with SEC or MFC.

There could be a use for the generators. Lights? Seems a bit extreme to me. But maybe to do more advanced things-the forcefield idea is nice but seems like it would get pretty annoying. I'm thinking elevators, turrets(if they ever become available), maybe advanced crafting tools. Things that aren't necessary, but having them would provide a lot of help.

their purpose was that base would be visible on world map but guarded by turrets and you need generator to enable turrets.. this concept is obselet and very abusable.

 but some kind of base maintain is good idea.. i.e. water .. withot water you will not be able to add new players/friends to base. so you will have to leave base and find this resource (water merchant in Fallout 1),... .

powering lights, I LOVE it, since there's lights in the cave with the generator there.  I think if you have a character with enough skill in Repair/Science you should have a chance to repair the generator and get some lights on in the bunker.  Hell maybe even doors? :o

actually, it's a good suggestion, because it will bring more balance into the game and reduce inflation. bases shouldn't be infinite sources of free crafting and storage. what about maintenance?

some of you wastelanders are so spoiled these days...

This just seems like another thing we have "to do" before we can actually do something productive, and possibly fun. I see nothing good or beneficial from this, just another boring, time-consuming virtual-chore.

Yes, this game has enough griefing, although if the whole idea of factions were repaired (bigger faction - bigger tribute) this might work... but there are better things to fix for now :/
