Is the range different from vanilla generator? Can we change the range to be different from gas generator?

man, times like this I wish zomboid had a a group of People like Mlies team for legacy rimworld mods

Update it to B42

@Blast What are you talking about? It requires water, therefore calling it a steam engine is accurate.

Update please

Last update January 2023, i think its not.

Is this mod compatible with B42?

can i add this mod mid game without everything breaking?

Fucking based, subbed

Head canon is that it's a wood gasifier generator instead of steam, hence why it only runs on wood.

This mod would be perfect and I mean PERFECT if the machine also burns more than just the logs. Like my trash and other stuff you can get when you chop some trees down.

With trash I mean dirty rags and that kind of stuff.

Sound good only sad it can not Burn all the stuff i want to Trash...

if you build it or spawn it place it in a container and then retrieve

The generator is in the inventory but then cant be placed. when dropped, it turns into a normal generator, my character goes into a endless animation of placing it and instead a regular generator appears.

it would be great if it was compatible with multiple generators

The generator is invisible but i can still use it, how?

This should probably require some electrical skills to build, too, for the dynamo and transformer.

can you make this compatible with the multiple generators mod by Slayer?

I wonder if you can make this generator spawns in the world? That would be bomb lol

Muy buen mod amigo Gracias!!

hi I was wondering if I could use some code from your mod as a base for my mod?

bruh this is going to be useless in the next update

compatible con multijugador ?

Is it safe to add in saves without the mod?

@IndieN0mad I was thinking the same thing. Or if you build it next to a water source (like a river) could it fill itself

I was able to buildi, but when I went to move it, (at least I think I moved it but I may have misclicked) it turned back into a normal generator

... its explodes? or is safe?

How many days does the generator's water last if it's full?

Ermm.. Is this working or what?

Still not working?

I wonder if it possible to use a water barrel + irrigation pipe for this mod?

The generator is invisible for me.

This is awesome! it's nice to have alternate power source. This will be especially useful for a 10 years or later play through for more realism.

Hi there. Could you add a feature that, once the water in the steam engine totally depletes, blows up my computer and engulfes my body in searing flames? That would be cool, I think

not working for me either

Make a more realistic variation that flat out explodes if the water drops to 0 and you try to add more.

Thanks, great mod.

For new ppl, mod does not function.

Is this safe to add to an active save?

how does the spawning work if i am adding it to a on going single player world will it spawn in areas i have not explored? will it entirely replace the spawn of vannila generators or half it?

i have this one and the adition of making it work with zombie bodies, when i craft it the items just disapears, i took away other generator mods (visible when you carrying it, and power timer) and tried again, still the same, items just disapears

I agree with gantradies on the topic of being able to plumb the generator. I mean, even when steam generators were first invented it didn't take too long for people to figure out how to get water to it automatically through various primitive methods so why can't people in 1993 figure it out? Shoot, we can plumb other applicances with water after the grid goes out so would make a lot of sense. Not to mention the actual fuel is the logs and those are pretty tedious to fill it with on their own without factoring in water so would be a QOL improvment for later game players that can plumb stuff too.

Just my personal thoughts on that front

Has anyone tried using this with Immersive Solar Arrays? Specifically, the capability to automatically start and stop a generator when the battery bank is insufficient

The generator can be interacted with but is invisible on the ground. I've tested it both on SP and MP with only this mod. I've tried placing it by several ways, gave it fuel and water, turned it on, restarted, nothing makes it visible.

i have a bit of a weird question-
amusing a high skill/skillbook requirement, thoughts on being able to plumb a water feed for a generator, if it'd be possible/not an insane pain to code?

Some reason im having an issue where i craft the generator but when i drop it on the ground it reverts back to a normal generator. :o

is it spawn like other generator or loot or just crafting it?
