Make Generators Produce Power

[aurreth]

I'm modding a vanilla vault, and I want to make sure that at least one of the old generators produces power. I've looked at the gen, I've looked at the base model, I've looked at other base models, nowhere do I see a setting for how much power it produces.

 

A wild guess, replace the stock one with the Activator from DLC06, then link it to the workshop?

Ok, so replace the existing piece with a new (stock) activator generator. Then add linkref from generator to workshop using WorkshopLinkPower? Or does the link go from the workshop to the generator?

Nope, that wasn't it. No power showing on the workbench. It's not from generator to workbench.

You could use DLC06VaultWorkshopGenerator01 or DLC06VaultWorkshopGenerator02 and link them to the workshop with the keyword WorksopItemKeyword. Make sure the generator has the workshopobjectscript.

That's the generator I'm using. What I can't figure out, and can't find seem to find anywhere, is what keywords go on what objects to make it work. It's one of those things that everyone just assumes is common knowledge.

 

So, generator gets linkref TO workbench, keyword WorksShopItemKeyword?

Are you calling workshop_parent.BuildObjectPUBLIC on the generator ref? If not, if might help.

I'm using the Vault-Tec Workshop generators. Everything is already there.

 

pepperman35 gave me the answer. Use one of the DLC06VaultWorkshopGenerator activators, and add LinkRef to WorkshopWorkbench with keyword WorkshopItemKeyword. Power is showing in the workbench now.
