TangerineDream Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Short simple anwser [ YES ] as it would add too the lore of the game and add more realism, players / gamers want a respecatble amount of realism right ? [ DISCUSS? ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalEvilD Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'm shocked this game doesn't just have solar panels. 99% of the time the sun is scorching the hell out of everything, people are always complaining about how hot it is, and we know the tech is there because there was a whole field of them in FO3. I'm equally shocked there isn't a mod for it already. Think about it....silent power (even quieter than the quieter settlement mod) and they're on the roof of your house instead of wherever else you'd put a generator. No noise, no smoke, no fuel to worry about, out of the way. What more can you ask for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not aware of one in FO4 but then there isn't a model for X-02 armor either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderlord2200 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 i was just thinking that in Survival the Generators should need Fuel.i mean ... an endless resource in Survival? The Fusion Generators should need Fusion Cores and after a period of time they should be empty and the connectet things shut down.The other ones should need flamer fuel or oil from junk what do u think?i felt that from the start and when you are able to build the fusion Jen all you need is a F-core. AND with the oil for the smaller generators oil. you can turn corn into a bio fuel for them.. and i felt you should of needed armor for turrets. (not so much when it comes to laser) and you should of been forced to use a laser gun its self into the Turret. and weapon De-gen like it is with power armor and better stamina bar (not a ap bar) and in most games there running was very badly placed. i am out of shape irl but i can run faster and longer then in this game. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalEvilD Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) If fusion cores eventually die, why can we find them still running in pre war generators? Seems logical that if they can run a factory with one for over 200 years, then you should be able to power your ghetto light display in your settlement for another 200 years or more.

FishBiter Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) No, they should not add this kind of tedious micro-management to the game. Have fun travelling from settlement to settlement making sure everything has fuel or whatever in it.. marvel at the stupidity of your settlers as they let the power go out without lifting a finger to do anything about it. The more settlements you have, the worse it gets. Just no. Some people might want to use Survival without having excessive tedium involved. Feel free to make a mod for this so most people can avoid it, but there is no way this should be part of the base game. Now, you wanna do this right? Make it a reward mechanic, rather than a punishment mechanic. Instead of making it so you lose power, make it so that player who take good care of their generators get extra power which gives some sort of benefit. Now you're bringing people satisfaction by engaging in your mod's mechanics, and adding something gamey to the game, rather than just a method whereby people can be punished for not doing their chores.

There should have been a added option to weather or not you want to "micro-manage" settlements, each too there own play style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
