lmao sounds fun, I believe I need those mods, especially since I finally got to the point where I have a base and start getting bored

@Robin Banks exactly, best combined with explosives or traps of some description
Robin Banks 22 May @ 3:02am 
Okay but why?
If I want to attract more zombies? Lol
darkmoriarti  [author] 22 May @ 2:25am 
@Robin Banks it adds a recipe to create a noise maker that has the range of a house alarm (approx 200 tiles) rather than the vanilla noise maker that only has a 15 tile range
Robin Banks 21 May @ 9:30pm 
not sure if I understand what this mod actually does; I'm a bit confused tbh

Does this work on 42?
darkmoriarti  [author] 21 Dec, 2024 @ 10:56am 
@Epsilon-11 The remotes & proximity "bombs" (noise makers included) don't function in MP, they simply won't explode/go off etc, maybe in 42MP it'll get fixed
Epsilon-11 21 Dec, 2024 @ 7:21am 
Hi can I ask what is the bug in mp?
vitor.jss 27 May, 2024 @ 11:35am 
Hi, It didn't consume the battery when I created it and with adding the V3 control it didn't happen, does anyone know how to make it work?
darkmoriarti  [author] 10 May, 2024 @ 6:58am 
@viper Noise makers are craft-able items, very rarely you can find them in an engineer story house
Viper 9 May, 2024 @ 10:39pm 
whare to find noise maker?
darkmoriarti  [author] 29 Apr, 2024 @ 10:25am 
@Sideroht yes but not recommended as most of the remote/proximity bombs are broken in MP (a vanilla bug, fingers crossed 42 fixes it)

MP?
J.C. Menton 24 Mar, 2024 @ 4:46am 
can you make it throwable?
darkmoriarti  [author] 19 Mar, 2024 @ 6:17am 
@OutcastedFrom17SG works fine when I try it with those mods. So what exactly do you you mean when you say "doesn't work", that the recipes aren't showing, that the items are missing, you have the items/recipe but the noise maker when triggered isn't working?
OutcastedFrom17SG 19 Mar, 2024 @ 2:29am 
This doesn't work. 41.78.16, with Craft Helper, Mod Manager, Electrical 10 and Debug Mode.
darkmoriarti  [author] 1 Mar, 2024 @ 4:15pm 
@Tnaz.v in your sandbox settings, set all the population options (pop multiplier, pop start multiplier, pop peak multiplier) to 4 & then set your peak day as 1, that's what is known as 16x population
Tnaz.v 1 Mar, 2024 @ 3:49pm 
Where do I select that population 16x? I didn't see it anywhere on the dedicated server
darkmoriarti  [author] 1 Mar, 2024 @ 3:47pm 
@Tnaz.v I'm guessing you're trying to ask how I got that many zombs in the video? That's just setting the population to 16x & visiting the Mall carpark, no mods involved with spawning
Tnaz.v 1 Mar, 2024 @ 3:16pm 
How did you manage to generate orders that large? what mod is it? Am I looking for one that does that, or did you reappear all those z's?
E.Bohdran 12 Oct, 2023 @ 9:43am 
For those having problems crafting the "remote noise generator" (results wont appear if you search for it in the UI), it is under the Electrical tab listed as one of the "Add Crafted Trigger" (these are several). Brilliantly hidden.
darkmoriarti  [author] 16 Apr, 2023 @ 10:28am 
@donut there's nothing stopping you using it as many times as you like, there's no code or anything to prevent a third activation or more
donut 16 Apr, 2023 @ 8:00am 
Right, it triggers twice, but not 3rd time. So it's only useful as a decoy, but not as a trap like ambulance is. Alright.
darkmoriarti  [author] 15 Apr, 2023 @ 10:29am 
@donut Nope. Although if its a triggered noise maker you can just trigger the remote again
donut 15 Apr, 2023 @ 10:27am 
Thanks for the help. Is there any way to make the noise maker last longer than 20 minutes?
darkmoriarti  [author] 6 Apr, 2023 @ 6:20pm 
@donut All the vanilla bombs have timed, proximity & remote versions that can be made after you've read the corresponding Electrical magazine.
Volume 4 will get you the recipe for Crafted Trigger. Add the trigger, 2 Elec scrap & 1 unit of duct tape to your Noise Generator & you'll have the Remote Noise Generator
donut 6 Apr, 2023 @ 2:04am 
The recipe requires "remote noise generator" which i don't have nor do i have recipe for one. Regular noise maker doesn't work.
darkmoriarti  [author] 8 Mar, 2023 @ 8:02am 
@Hermit the MP problems are in the vanilla noise maker still, but they're kinda hit & miss, sometimes the sound plays continuously only for the client who placed it, other times its for everyone on the server, I've even seen it play no sound, but still attract zambs.
Fingers crossed that Engineer gets some love in B42 & it gets 'fixed'
Hermit 8 Mar, 2023 @ 7:51am 
Does this still have issues in MP?
darkmoriarti  [author] 23 Feb, 2023 @ 6:10am 
@[ZSU] Tali Zora Vas Tyria yep, just need to have read the Engineer magazine to make the vanilla noise maker & the Electrical magazine for the corresponding Timer version
[ZSU] Tali Zora Vas Tyria 23 Feb, 2023 @ 4:26am 
since this doesnt use pipe bomb, all profession can make it as long we know the recipe yeah?
darkmoriarti  [author] 13 Jan, 2023 @ 4:15am 
@Karl Marx sounds like the mod isn't activated in your savegame as the base version doesn't have a magazine or profession requirement so searching for "Big" in the crafting window should give you the recipe
Karl Marx 11 Jan, 2023 @ 4:23pm 
I cant see the recipe for the big noise generator, could u help?
darkmoriarti  [author] 30 Dec, 2022 @ 5:17pm 
@Charming Dazz MP is a solid "um maybe" for some players it works normally for others it plays the sound file indefinitely until you relog. Plus in MP remote triggers are still not working correctly, which was the original way I planned the mod to be used, so the biggest feature of this mod is nerfed to how far you can throw the item or by setting it up with a timer & running away
Charming Dazz 30 Dec, 2022 @ 4:05pm 
Hey, would this work for MP? I would assume it would
Charming Dazz 27 Dec, 2022 @ 3:34pm 
Love this mod <3
Phoenix 30 Nov, 2022 @ 11:05am 
Thanks!
darkmoriarti  [author] 30 Nov, 2022 @ 7:29am 
@Phoenix, Hand Sanitizer Drinker it only adds a new recipe & item, it doesn't change any vanilla assets or distribution, so is 100% safe to add/remove mid save
Phoenix 30 Nov, 2022 @ 7:26am 
Is this safe to add to a game mid-save?
Mxswat 26 Aug, 2022 @ 7:00am 
@darkmoriart okay thank you
darkmoriarti  [author] 26 Aug, 2022 @ 6:25am 
@Mx Yes for SP.
MP is a solid "um maybe" for some players it works normally for others it plays the sound file indefinitely until you relog.

Did TIS fix the bug? Or is it still broken?
darkmoriarti  [author] 26 Jun, 2022 @ 9:03am 
@Siberian Frontier its currently unlisted due to noisemakers being bugged in current build of game. When TIS fix throwables (coming soon™) I'll make the mod fully visible again
Siberian Frontier 26 Jun, 2022 @ 7:23am 
Can't add this mod to my collection for whatever reason.
darkmoriarti  [author] 5 May, 2022 @ 7:47am 
@Mace I'm sorry dude, I completely spaced when I said I'd do this the other day in stream. All done now :spiffo:
Mace 5 May, 2022 @ 6:55am 
Love the mod. Would it be possible to get a timer version? Also Noise only lasts 30 minutes, but i play 2 hour days so perhaps that makes sense.
Jenny's Milkshakes 22 Mar, 2022 @ 11:30am 
@darkmoriarti - im not currently using your mod right now on our current server save, but I still keep an eye on it

i wish that mod collects could be locked to not update somehow, like a fork of the mod content. it makes it impossible to host a dedicated server when you are using a collection as a means for players to get the mods. if you have 15+ different mods on a sever it gets to the point where you have to shut down and restart too often due to client-side version conflicts

items update at unpredictable intervals, so the only way to can create smooth dedicated server exp is to pick a version and repack the mods they want on the server

i know this is not what authors want but it's really the only way that a dedicated server with more than like 2 people and a few of mods can work.

again, I'm not using your content in a repack but just a thought for creators. I'd sooner just go back to vanilla than deal with the hassle of trying to keep a dedicated server running with mods.
ace 6 Mar, 2022 @ 6:19pm 
@darkmoriarti is that still a bug as of now?
