Hi! This mod removes the need for fire/ice pals to be assigned to the electric heater and cooler for them to function and instead only consume electricity.
Notes:
- This mod is still in development and there are a few things you should know:
- Currently, there is no way to turn either appliance on/off. I'm looking into how to best implement it, but right now they're on permanently. If you need to shut them off, you have to remove them.- Currently, they will continue to run even without adequate electricity (they still consume electricity but I haven't come up with a way to keep track of them all and turn them off when there's not enough electricity...again, working on that) - This mod should be compatible with both local play and dedicated servers, and the host is the only one who needs to have the mod installed.
- If you want to increase the electricity requirement to compensate for the new lack of manpower needed to run them, you can change that in the configs.
The newest version of UE4SS (v3.0.0) no longer requires an injector for PalServer.exe to load it, meaning the installation process is mostly the same regardless of local or dedicated server
Installation (Windows):
- Download the mod
- Download the latest version of UE4SS
- Extract the UE4SS folder contents into Pal/Binaries/Win64
- Extract the mod into the /Mods folder extracted from UE4SS
- Edit the configs in TehElectricalAppliancesMod/Scripts/config.lua
- That's it!
Linux: As of now I don't know of any consistent solution beyond using Wine. I don't personally have a Linux server to test mods on, and as such I don't intend to cover how to install/if the mod is even compatible on Linux systems at the moment.
