@SilverWolf

Yeah, worked perfectly fine for me. Hell, I don't see why it wouldn't.

Is it okey to add this mod mid-game?

great mod, worked great until a couple of patches ago
now, when I go back to my main base after few days trip, one of the two freezers has his power off, and food in it is now stale or rotten
also, some lights are not working, and turning off and on again the generator fixes the problem

I disabled the mod 2 weeks ago, didn't happen since then

Any idea of the possible reasons ?

I tried moving and reconnecting the gen, uninstalling and reinstalling both freezers, still same problem

thanks

holy crap the fridges were taking so much fuel went from 3 days to 12 days when i unplugged the useless fridges great mod

For a multiplayer server it would be great if this only worked for the owner of the fridge. I had people turning off my fridge that was being used as a shop to make my food spoil. Any possible way of making it so that everyone doesn't have the ability to turn them off?

Hey man, is there any chance you could make a similar mod for gas pumps? They drain power continuously, and most gas stations have 4 to 8 pumps constantly on, when usually you need only one.

Ideally, pumps should only really use power while they're being used, but being able to shut them off would still be miles better than what we have.

@PHYTON HATER!!!! , thank you, take your time.. its just sometimes i just forgot i have the ability to turn it on and off. Lol

Does this work with b42?

Hi @SpaceDonuts, there are a few ways to tell if a fridge is turned off or on. If the interaction button says "Plugin", it means it is turned off, and clicking on it will turn the fridge on. If the same button says "Unplug", it means it is turned on, and clicking on it will turn the fridge off. The fridge itself also makes a characteristic sound when it is working. Additionally, there are different icons that represent the state of the fridge, and in the last update, I added the state of the fridge to the container title. I might consider including a custom model with some light, but there are several things to think about, such as the location of the light and how it could be seen from different camera angles. It is also important to note that this would result in a change in the fridge model, something I want to avoid as much as possible. Thanks for the feedback.

Would it be possible to also turn off the fridge lights? sometimes.. I forget they are off and store food.. I went on an eating frenzy on my last run cause most of my perishables were going bad. lol..

Hi @Kira and @Seeker, the mod should work on saved games. I recently tested it on a little run (only the Fridges Off! mod was installed) and it was working fine. If you continue to have issues, I would need more details to try to resolve them. Thanks for the feedback.
FX-Kira 18 Feb @ 3:57pm 
does it work on saved games?
Seeker 28 Jan @ 2:52pm 
Tried adding it to an existing save and doesn't seem to be working. might be something on my end though

This truly should be vanilla by this point. Thanks for making it and keeping it going!

It's such a simple mod, but it makes setting up a base in a place with lots of fridges around so much less painful. Thank you!

Love the mod. Small but great feature to save a bit of sanity. I put it in a video that I just made if you care to check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBm6fo0EkDI

Finally I don't have to keep the neighbour's fridges powered by my generator.
MeanSmoker 29 Dec, 2024 @ 9:48am 
Can't believe this mod didn't make it into the base game but thanks for update <3

No more fridge parkings outside my castle. THX !!:steamthumbsup:

Thank you for updating!! Happy holidays!
DarkBlueAgent 29 Dec, 2024 @ 3:30am 
Thank you for updating it!

Can't believe how many essential things the devs never bothered to implement into the game. It's like they never tested the game without debug mode on.

Also, while playing, I noticed some problems with interactive objects placed against walls. I couldn’t click on or select them. I don’t remember this happening in B41, so it’s possible that, in some cases, interacting with certain objects now requires you to move toward them or reposition them.

Hello everyone, how are you? I hope you are all doing well! I’ve just released the update that ports the mod to B42. I also kept the mod for B41, so those who haven’t updated to the unstable version of the game should still be able to use the mod.
As I mentioned in the last patch note, I included some checks suggested by @theleo to address the null pointer issue. Since I didn’t have additional details on how the issue was triggered, I assumed it was a desync problem or a cell loading failure. For the connect/disconnect option to appear in the context menu, there must be an object of type fridge/fridge_off/freezer/freezer_off at that position. The server code also ran as expected, and the issue occurred only during client-side replication, where the pointer was null.
In response to the suggestions I mentioned earlier, I didn’t just want to mask the issue. Therefore, I’ve added some text logs.

please update this for 42 PLEASE
kitsutore 26 Oct, 2024 @ 12:39pm 
@Rokko, thank you! will give it a try
Rokko 26 Oct, 2024 @ 8:29am 
@schloppa
nope. shows up just fine.
as far as servers are concerned, you need to add Mod ID and Workshop ID in the servers ini file, restart the server and it should be enabled
kitsutore 26 Oct, 2024 @ 6:35am 
hey guys! did you have the problem that you don't see this mode in your list once installed? in fact, I reinstalled it 3 times. it's nowhere in the main Mods list, neither in the server mods list.

"Rokko 6 hours ago: @ pgames-food

loss of map-wide electricity is based on X amount of days/time (as per sandbox settings) and not on X amount of electricity used. having said that, i just realized how useful this mod is.

ah i didnt know :) it just felt like that was the case :)

pgames-food 26 Sep, 2024 @ 5:51pm 
(in the vanilla game, or even with mods, i usually turn the lights off when i finish looting a house, so that the "power going out" lasts a bit longer before it happens) :lunar2019piginablanket:
pgames-food 26 Sep, 2024 @ 5:50pm 
"Rokko 5 hours ago: just curious...why would you want to"

probably to save on some power / fuel usage - bit like in real life with all the energy prices going up :)
Rokko 26 Sep, 2024 @ 11:50am 
just curious...why would you want to?
lilmookieesquire 12 Jun, 2024 @ 6:59pm 
For people having trouble loading the mod mid-game, you can't just go to "mods" then continue/load the file.

To make it work mid-game try:
* "Load" then on load screen hit
* "More" then
* "choose mods".
* Turn them on, specifically on this screen, then hit
* "play" on the bottom right.

Hi
really nice mod :) Could you also add unplugging of Popsicle fridges?
Keep up the great work !

I'm suffering from this error, I don't know if it could be your mod or someone else in my pack. The strange thing is that it only happens to me, and it doesn't happen to my friends. When I leave the server and re-enter my character, my character gets sick as if he had been bitten and it dies, I already uninstalled the game and reinstalled it, I restarted the server and reinstalled it and the same thing happens to me, I don't know if it's a bug or what I'm doing wrong, the strangest thing is that I host the server from another PC but with myself Steam account, I shouldn't have a problem being me, am I supposed to? If you can help me, thank you, it's ruining my ability to enjoy and enjoy a great game.

here I explain more about my case

jdickerson441 15 Mar, 2024 @ 4:53pm 
I don't really understand why this is needed. I never turn mine off in game. I've always just used the multiple generators mod to add more power and use less fuel if needed
diabolicdoctor 15 Feb, 2024 @ 3:38am 
@bacper1234 It works with midgame-adding
bacper1234 31 Jan, 2024 @ 3:02am 
Does it work in mid game world or new save is needed?
StainlessSteelCynic 30 Oct, 2023 @ 5:51pm 
The ability to switch off devices like the fridge should be available in the vanilla game. But it isn't, so it's incredibly helpful that this mod is available.
You xd, are a superstar and I'm giving you the superstar award to prove it! :steamthumbsup:
This mod is a much needed item :cozytf2mug: :spiffo:
HawkSixx 18 Jul, 2023 @ 11:56pm 
can you make it work for controllers? Thank you!!!
Zooz 7 Jul, 2023 @ 10:52am 
That's great when you want to use a fridge as a baricade!

belo mod... saudades amigo... vc é um amigo...
Ariex 27 Apr, 2023 @ 11:20am 
Added to my public heavily-modded (190+mods) MP server, mid save. No issues at all.

Nice little QoL mod indeed :)
Tibbers 10 Mar, 2023 @ 4:41pm 
idk if its because of this mod but when i started the game after enabling this mod half of my popsicle freezer had disappeared and my food was rotten on the floor :S
