Wanted to point out a quick but critical correction. The battery bank will charge the batteries even if items down the line are drawing power as long as the parent power source has an additional 5w of power available for the battery bank to draw beyond it's other power requirements. You can see this in action at 13:35 when you turn the generator back on and the power draw is 56w instead of the 51w it takes to power the lights. Wouldn't want people to think they have to shut off everything to recharge their batteries when all they need is to have sufficient excess power from the parent power source.

I've been playing quite a while ... and I've needed this tutorial for ages. Thanks! The only thing I'd add is to be careful daisy chaining electric fences ... if one fails, every fence attached to it will fail. I use a relay so each (or many) get power directly from the power source.
@jeffreyestahl5 ай бұрын
2 things I always wanted TFP to add: 1) A day timer on the time relay, so you could build systems that only kicked on 1 day a week for example. This would allow for some more complicated traps in bases by combining delays and settings. 2) A negation switch or setting for trigger plates, so stepping on one would turn OFF the electricity. Another way to achieve that would be a negation relay of some kind. This would allow some more advanced logic into our in game devices. Finally, a trick I like to use in my bases is to use a sledge to vault the Zs INTO a blade trap set in a position along the ballistic arc from the sledge position. It's kind of fun to listen on hordes nights, "Bonk! Shick shick shick shick!" Then, if you're being really nasty, have the Zs drop into a trench covered by an electric fence to pin them in place with pressure plates triggering shotgun turrets behind them. Muahahaha!! Not completely AFK, but close, though one can go through a lot of shells on particularly busy horde nights. (remember shotguns in game only have an effective range of 4 blocks now; anything outside that, you might as well be throwing spitwads)
@Cody_Ramer4 ай бұрын
You can actually have pressure plates turn off electricity, I had an underground base once and wanted a drawbridge door for a flat opening, I used pressure plates and cameras in a fairly complex setup which took awhile to get everything figured out. But at the end I was able to have it closed ( powered) all the time and I would drive over pressure plates which would turn off the electricity which would then open the drawbridge, then have a camera catch sight of me on the other side and close (powered) the drawbridge again. I probably spent an hour fiddling around trying to make everything work out. Edit: what I really want though is to be able to connect two power in lines to one thing, would have saved me a lot of time.

Only 1 thing to say and then 1 add on fact you missed. This is a great video, awesome job my dude. I learned something here. I really had not played with timer relays at all, so thanks for that. I found that when you have the parent generator (gas) then to a battery bank and then to the load. If the generator runs out of gas and the batteries run low on charge. All you need to do is refill the generator and turn it on it will have an extra 4 or five watt load on it. It will recharge the batteries even when the load is still applied. It’s very slow though, but as long as the generator stays on, all of the batteries will fully recharge with the load still on. Thank you for your hard work on a great video.

Idk how much engine power has to be over total load, but it'll still charge. 2. I don't believe you have to lock your turrets for them to shoot. I think this because I was also under the same impression however, on my current playthrough I forgot to lock my turrets, and they still shot. Thanks for the trap, pressure plate, camera explanation. I'm about to dabble to see what cool stuff I can do.

I’ve been playing this game for years and haven’t messed with electricity much in terms of traps but I like to use it for lights. I did once test gas vs battery gens and I found that that you could save a lot of gas by hooking everything to the battery bank and having a separate gas generator and battery bank for charging off the main line. This is because if the gas generator was hooked the battery bank on the main line then when you turn on the gas generator to charge the batteries it also powers the whole line and the gas per watt to power the line was higher than the gas per battery durability charged then battery durability to watt. Cant remember what it was but it was so significant of a gas saving I never hooked my gas generator into my power lines ever again I just keep it in a separate battery charging only setup and swap batteries around as needed

You don't need to turn off everything to recharge the battery. As long more power flows in from generator or solar than currently used, it will recharge. As an example, I use 3 battery banks with only 1 solar panel. The 3 banks all have tier 6 battery. At horde night these battery banks give you power all over the night, and i play 22:00-06:00. During day, they will be recharged. To be efficient, use sensors to save power. During day or night, all 3 banks use 20-30W.

But when my generator ran out of gas- the power bank didn’t kick on. I was locked out and had to break a hole into my base. It seems counterintuitive. The power bank only seemed to work if the generator was manually switched off. Not when it ran out of fuel. Thoughts?

For some reason, although it only costs 5W to charge a battery, the rate of charging is actually 18 times higher at 90W. This means you can create energy from nothing by using batteries to charge other batteries. I think it's been like this since at least A20. It makes all other power sources pretty much obsolete, at least once you have a few batteries and at least two battery banks, which you can normally buy quite early from the traders. By the way, you can also look at the value of a battery to tell how much energy it has. Each duke translates to 750J regardless of battery tier (base value - if you put points in better barter or wield a .44 magnum and have the perk, the value of the battery is higher, so each duke correspond to fewer joules). A fully charged T6 battery is worth 200 dukes and contains 150kJ, while a T1 is worth 100 dukes and contain 75kJ. You can also use this to figure out how long a battery will last. For example, if the power draw is 50W, a T6 battery will last for 150000/50 = 3000 seconds = 50 minutes. Similarly, since the effective charge rate is 90W, a T6 battery will be fully charged in just under 28 minutes. A single battery bank can also be connected to multiple others in parallel, so you can charge several batteries at once if you want.

The solar panels or generator can recharge the battery bank even while it’s powering things. The output of the solar panels or generator just needs to be higher than load on battery bank. To recharge it completely the solar panel output needs to exceed the load on the battery bank PLUS its cumulative load at night when the solar panel isn’t outputting power. You can do this with a clever use of timers and switches. So for example the interior lights in my base remain on 24/7 but timers turn on/off a lot of things and switches turn on my horde base (just outside). Everyday the solar panel recharge my battery bank even though the lights are on 24/7. It takes two days to recharge my battery bank after a horde night, again the interior lights are on the whole time. I always get solar panels in a normal playthrough, it’s a really good cap sink during the end game when you have stacks of dukes and nothing to buy.

The only thing I noticed that was missing that I didn't see in the comments was when you were talking about the electrical fences. I think it would have been good to moment how the degradation of them works. People might get the impression that you have to repair all the posts instead of just the end post. Also I think the problem with the solar panel isn't that it's not craftable. It's that the panels themselves are rare and extremely expensive. The way they have the traders seemingly have the solar panel bank available from the start of a playthrough and how often they have them in the shop just adds so much salt to that wound too.

Hey Capp! I've never used electricity before but was wondering if there are different sizes of gasoline generators with different amounts of gas to fill each one up for charging? If they all hold the same amount of fuel, how long will the gas generator run when full? Question #2: Will car batteries wear down over time? Will their full charge capacity drop over time? Like rechargeable batteries IRL, over time they won't charge as much with each successive charge. Thanks again for the "How to" video!! 👍

Framerate issues on my machines are nearly all GPU related, not electronic logic pulling down the CPU. Excessive turrets or anything with a motion sensor can lag your CPU, but just take a look at a monitoring/logging app while playing, and pay attention to the CPU % if you think electronics like light bulbs are loading your CPU before the lighting bogs your GPU? Also a battery bank should still charge batteries (have zero output load) with a power supply connected and powered devices down-chain, assuming the power supply is more than ample to handle the down-chain device needs? Also solar banks don't switch OFF when they lack sunlight, they still look like a power source, which causes the down-chain devices to keep deferring to the solar bank for power and an attached battery bank won't flip to a power output mode. This must be a good moment to add a timed relay, so that the solar bank is disconnected at night? Trying this seems to work initially but after a few days these setups always seem to break and I end up adding manual switches. That stuff probably falls into "advanced" electronics, but there were some points in this video that really came off as needing an update/second thoughts.

Note on Solar: You can get a solar cell as a reward from the 50 Cop challenge. Each time I turned it in, it was a level 3. A Level 3 is 22 watts. This is enough for a few lights and switches. Battery Banks draw 5 watts to charge batteries. You can have a greater power demand for horde defense and the solar panel will recharge the batteries throughout the week. In my last run for the day 70 horde, I had two level-3 solar cells. Bought one for just over 20K (Discounted down from 50K with gear and consumables) My base daily draw was around 33 watts of the 44 available from the 2 cells. But come horde night and with defenses turned on this jumped to around 80. The battery bank lasted the night and the solar panel started recharging the batteries once it started up. Note: Place a switch between the solar panel and battery bank to delay swapping to solar and not having the power to run defenses. This will give you time to mop up the horde or to turn on defense when a scout comes to say "HUHHHIIIIEEE" This was a bit wordy. Sorry about that.

One thing you didn't touch on about generators and battery banks. You can connect a generator to a battery bank, then connect the battery bank to your lights and traps. Then should your generator run our of fuel the battery bank will act as a UPS and power everything until the batteries go dead. You can also connect more than 1 battery bank in line to extend the battery backup time. I find this handy when I am gone for an extended period doing high tier missions I can keep my crafting benches running and when the screamers come my base defenses will handle them while I am away. Also should my generator go dead and my batteries deplete when I refuel my generator and start it back up it will both power my base and recharge the batteries Hope this makes sense and helps someone.

@capp00 oh my bad, I missed you mentioning using the battery bank as power backup at the end of that segment. I rewashed it and you are correct. Though one thing I do want to point out. Your statement that the battery bank will only charge if there is no draw on it is incorrect. As long as the generator is supplying more wattage than is being drawn from the battery bank it will charge just fine. You do not have to turn off the items connected to the battery bank for it to charge. Other than that, good stuff.

This is really cool and ngl i never realized how in depth the devs made electricity almost like irl the only thing is missing ,is the monitors so we can comtrol the cameras and turrents , i wish we could have more vehicles like a bigger helicopter or add trailers and attach it to a car or be able have make rvs or buses or a submarine and have a mobile base on the go😌 cuz i wanna recreate trazit from black ops 2 in this game😂

I really do hope that in the future they add logic circuits to the game, for more advanced setups.

Now, if there was a way to wire the TVs in the game to get Capp videos we'd be getting somewhere.
