Hello all, We’re moving our experimental branch to default today. We’ve done a bit of testing there and feel it’s stable enough. We’re also introducing our new and improved changelog and roadmap developed by @Clinton. This new changelog will allow you to keep tabs on us a bit better and should showcase exactly what it is we’re working on. As mentioned in the last update, we've reworked our base electrical system. We've added some features along with a massive amount of tweaking.
The machine UI's (generators, electrical meters and breaker panels) all function now. They've also all been reworked to include the ability to interact and activate the machine. You're still able to hold E to activate without ever opening the machine's UI. Breaker panel logic has been reworked. If a panel is powering more than it should and is overloaded, breakers will fail and the player will need to replace them. Each breaker can power a set amount of electrical equipment. Although other mechanics do already draw electricity, you'll find the main draw is lighting. You will have fair warning...as you can see in the gif below, the lights themselves will flicker and let you know things are about to go wrong. Generators now use fuel based on the amount of draw on them. If you're powering a structure and keeping one room lit, your generator may run the entire night. If you're powering an entire house, you'll need to top up those fuel levels! Fuel stations are not fully functioning. The player can gather fuel from any fuel stations with just an empty fuel can and a siphon. Once fuel stations are powered you'll find the fuel pumps function and fuel can be gathered without the siphon. The garage doors are also functioning along with the exterior signs and lights! There are many more additions and fixes in this update. It's the largest we've done. If you have the time, please remember to submit any bugs or issues you find on our tracker. It's a great help to the team!
