• [SUGGESTION] THE WHOLE ELECTRICIAL SYSTEM
    1 replies, posted
Hello dear rusty people ! A short message before this post, I DO NOT PLAY RUST! ( My situation doesent allow it )That being said that does not mean that I dont interact with the community or watch videos. I personally will soon post a 2018/Final product Mind map which will have every conceivable thing that I think the game needs. Thank you. -------------------------------------------------------ELECTRICAL UPDATE---------------------------------------------------------------- So for the actual electricity topic I think that electricity should work in a very similar way to minecrafts build craft system, If you've ever watched Feed the beast or tekkit you'll know what I mean. For you *Actual* gamers it basically is just a system where a device ( i.e a windmill ) will keep working until it's internal battery is full, it will shut off UNLESS there is a wire. The wires are on the front of walls ( or inside the wall, I can't decide ) Anyways they look like this. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/168391/5bc81130-1293-414d-8bfc-d80c31c69548/20170412_103926393_iOSnew.jpg ( BTW they will be dark black and not made of clear plastic and secured using metal ) So the wire will bring the electricity (measured in Rust Joules ) to a other machine or a battery box, The First level of electrical generation is called the Steam engine and it will look something like this ( But more makeshift and " rusty " . Pun intended ) https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/168391/4ffb4505-25ea-406d-a4a5-92059097e405/phpThumb_generated_thumbnail.jpeg This steam engine will be powered by charcoal ( so it's not just for Gun powder ) , charcoal will yield RJ ( remember rust Joules ) but on top of fuel , water needs to be added or else it will over heat and eventually EXPLODE! Water can be added by manual means by a bucket or jerry can or by a PIPE, This pipe will take water from either a tank or from a pump in a river ( or maybe underground ). Because it's very cheap only costing 300 metal 5 gears and 4 sheet metal ( Lvl 1 workbench ) it will only yield a very small amount of RJ, enough to power some appliances and with the constant danger of it overheating. ( The Steam engines starts getting red hot after it gets overheated, you'll get burnt by touching it. ) LIST OF SMALL APPLIANCES ( worthy of a Steam engine ) -Electrical light ( The same one in the game, just that it's not powered on LG fuel ) -Ore crusher (You put in ore and it crushes it to dust, then you melt the ore to double your Ore ) -Pump ( also works on LG fuel ) -Small electric furnace ( Nothing special just doesent use fuel ) - MEDIUM GRADE FUEL REFINER! ( Needed to turn LG fuel to medium grade fuel, or should it converts oil idk ) Low voltage to Medium voltage converter ( If you attach a LV to MV it will fry the 2 conected ) -small table lamp ( Nothing special ) -Manual quern ( can be hooked up to electricity for automation, BTW a quern grinds corn to flour, more on that in the 2018 Mind map ) - Manual butter churn ( can be hooked up to electricity got automation, BTW it turns milk into butter/cheese but more on butter , cheese , cooking , farming and animals in 2018 mind map ) - Metal cables ( costing 5 metal and 5 rubber, but more on rubber later. Also the farther the cable is the more power is lost ) Paint Vat ( Creates paint for use on walls and tools ) PS: ONE STEAM ENGINE CANNOT POWER ALL THESE APPLIANCES AT ONCE! JUST A FEW OR LOTS OF LOW POWER APPLIANCES! PSS: All appliances here are Lvl I workbench. __________________________________WINDMILL/WATERMILL____________________________________________ Just like the Steam engine in power generation but is renewable. They look like this https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/168391/d1bb67a2-c4d7-4839-8256-d03f6c74eda8/Windmill_Concept_Art.jpg https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/168391/4588a969-d386-467f-9eef-ce01ff4c8600/download (3).jpeg This watermill needs to be made of metal and have some kind of electrical converter Pretty basic. Supports the same appliances as the Steam engine. PS: The water wheel needs a running water source Duh. PSS: The watermill works better in the grass biome and the windmill works better in higher elevations. _____________________________MEDIUM GRADE FUEL GENERATOR_____________________________ https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/168391/b5ccabde-73e4-42fb-8605-bd8f11762ef4/s-l225.jpg This will be the middle ground of power generation, costing 600 metal 15 HQ 6 gears and 8 sheet metal along with 3 pipes. You need a Lvl 2 workbench and is UPGRADED from the Steam engine with the hammer. This also is powered on MG ( medium grade remember ) Fuel. Medium grade fuel can be obtained as a medium drop or refined with the MG refiner that is found at monuments or crafted with 8 HQ and 150 metal! To be realistic the genarrator will emit CO2 that slowly darkens the room and gives the debuff of Carbon Dioxide poisoning which will slowly damage then at 30 HP you knock out and CAN be revived and while your downed you will cough very loudly to attract team mates. ( OR enemy's) The debuff can be avoided by wearing the Hazmat suit. BUT you can install VENTILATION that will get rid of the smoke and debuff. ( BTW this is how the ventilation will look like ) https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/168391/d0518798-0d64-4ca9-ba61-9967f526014c/download (2).jpeg ( BTW it will not be segmented but a solid lead pipe also it emits smoke outside and goes thru wals) The pipe will be built upon the ceiling like wires and will stick out the side of the building as long as you want, BUT be careful how low you put it because all Neary by land that the pipe is next too will DIE! ( 25 metres ) Or if it's above your base the air above will make a small grey cloud high above your base. ( when it rains it SLIGHTLY taints crops ) LIST OF MEDIUM SIZED APPLIANCES - Refrigerator ( just the normal fridge but is power it on electricity ) - Induction smelter ( Is not made of clay but metal and it always works but works faster the longer it has been used for, i.e 5 minutes of use and it is 75% percent faster and so forth. Also has 2x capacity of normal furnace ) - Dye Vat ( used to make dye ) - Electric Cooker ( looks like a elevated sheet metal with gator clips , also can't burn food Cuz it moves it to a cold spot ) - Battery Box ( If you want to have a reservoir of electricity, Half size of a person ) - Spot Light ( Same one in the game ) - Battery charger ( Charges small battery's for use in devices like headlamp or flashlight ) - Shotgun Turret ( Turrets now need electricity to run ) - Flame thrower turret ( turrets now needs electricity to run ) - Bullet Press ( You can only create special bullets at the press, i.e Incindieary or explosive ) - RADIO ( The radio is the size of a boom box, The radio has 3 channels, the first is Music, rust guitar and other gamer related songs, 2nd is random trivia, Cool plays and just cool things, The third one though is Communication, Communication works by when 2 radios can communicate anywhere on the map by manual tuning into the others frequency. When you place down a radio it randomly creates a new frequency that you Tell others so they can tune in. Radios can only be placed down in places with wired electricity. BTW you can make any noise and it will pick up. ) - HAM radio ( Purely for fun only, Any person can click on a button and it will randomly chooses another HAM radio, after the chat you get his ham number for future reference) - Blender ( You put berries to make juice and tomatoes to make tomato paste ) - MEDIUM GRADE FUEL to HIGH GRADE FUEL refiner ( Needed for the next level ) - Trip Wire ( If anybody trips it outside of you or white listed people it will send a message to steam and make a rattling noises ) - MEDIUM voltage to HIGH voltage converter ( Needed or else it will fry the connected devices ) - Fence Electrify-er ( Apply this box next to one chain link fence and all conected fences are electric, but the more fences connected to one box it will thin out the damage ) - Heater ( Will bring the heat of the room to a good amount, very useful in cold bases. ) - Fan ( Cools down the temperature in the base, Particularly useful in hot bases ) Uranium Enricher ( Needed to turn raw uranium into enriched uranium ) -------------------------------------------------------SOLAR PANELS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The solar panel is quite cheap but it makes very little RJ, you need to have many to be equivalent to a gas generator and even more for a nukelear generator. Looks like this but more makeshift. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/168391/bfb40f69-c8aa-4f92-8167-4ce9a2c7e775/crop-640x360-000.jpg PS: Works better in arid areas ------------------------------------------- DUAL NUCLEAR-HIGH GRADE FUEL GENERATOR -------------------------------------- ( I have no idea how this will look like, and there's no images online but I want this to be really big ) This is the final Electrical generator, Powered on High grade fuel and URANIUM! Uranium is only found in only the most radioactive places ( i.e center of the broken smoke stack ) , or in a super deep cave that I personally want added. Once you find the Uranium you have to go and process it Into enriched uranium by the Uranium enricher. Each node or uranium rod only gives 5 uranium, and 15 uranium can be crafted into one Rod and one rod can last about 6 hours. You need to supplement The Uranium with high grade fuel. The downside to this generator though is the waste and radiation, To be in the same room as the generator you need to be wearing either a Hazmat suit or just risk the HIGH radiation levels, This room needs to be made of Armored walls OR have the room padded with 4x rubber insulation. ( it needs 20 rubber to make a rubber padding, then 4 of those walls to make a 2x and so on ) ( rubbers' a material i personally want added ). The Second downside is Nuclear waste, Slowly the generator starts creating a green sludge that you can see accumulating in a rusty barrel, When this barrel is almost full you have to turn off the generator and use a dolly to pick up the barrel with the green sludge and roll it away and dump it outside somewhere on the floor or in a river. Once you dump the sludge it will instantly darken the area around it and kill everything there ( and creates a high radiation zone ) This darkness lasts for 3 real life day. Because this generator still uses fuel it will need ventilation shafts, but these shafts need to be insulated with rubber because the CO2 it emits is radiated and dangerous. When the shaft goes outside it will kill the nearby plants near the pipe or if the pipe is facing the sky it will make a big black cloud very high above the base and when it rains it will rain black rain and taint ( or kill IDK ) the plants nearby. Because this generator is so powerful it makes so much heat and in order to not explode it needs to have coolant to not overheat, this coolant is Very bright blue and glows in the dark. I don't know what coolant will be made of but it should be pricey, the coolant will keep cycling through the clear plastic tubes and be used up very slowly. If this reactor somehow overheats to a point to the point of meltdown, it will make a BIG explosion and iradiate the area around the base to a level of low radiation. As you might be asking, What's the point of all this electricity? Bragging rights? Boasting? No, this reactor is very suited for large clans and bases and will have the top of the line appliances and technology! LIST OF HIGH LEVEL APPLIANCES - Metal Compressor ( This appliance converts 50 metal into 1 High quality metal every 12 minutes ) - Ore Crystalizer ( Turns ore dust into crystals that you can smelt to get 4x the ore, looks like a large Vat of water with the dust on a string. Takes a long time ) - Industrial smelter ( BIG ASS sheet metal rectangle with the top as grates to let out smoke. Needs ventilation and it takes 2x the amount of ore as the large furnace. Takes a massive amount of RJ ) -Surveillance cameras ( The same ones in the game but you can place them on walls, can be shot out. Hooked up with the laptop ) -Laptop ( The already existing laptop used in crafting the turret, but instead you place it down to look at your surveillance Devices. BTW one laptop can control 8 devices ) -Alarm ( Senses explosions and then makes a ear piercing noise, sends a notification to the base owners to get on ) -Auto Turret ( The same one but needs electricity) -Auto Turret Modification ( Put this on the auto turret and you can now control it through the laptop ) - Pump Jack ( If you can ever place down the jack then it will take a medium amount of RJ ) -The Quarry ( If it ever is placed down again it will take ALOT of RJ ) ________________________________________ THE END _________________________________________________ Have fun folks and tune in next time for the 2018 MIND MAP! Feel free to suggest me anything I missed. STAY RUSTY!
omg tahts a lot of work but it will come 100% they cant miss electricity
