[B42] Carry visible generators

@mykaister In version B42, if you hold a generator and try to sit in a seat, you will drop it. This is not caused by a mod.
To place the generator in a seat, first make sure the generator is in your inventory.
Then, near the vehicle, press the V key to bring up the vehicle menu and select Open Door.
After that, drag the generator from your inventory into the seat.

ChillWhiteGuy 25 Feb @ 7:58am 
Maybe this will be vanilla in like 10 years

make both of the hands grab the generator

i just found out you can change each generators weight in the mod files, now i can have the blue generator at 10 weight and play nomad, i think you should let people know that since there are no mods available for that currently in B42

Me pasó un bug que hace que los generadores se multipliquen al pasar por una ventana con el generador en las manos, ya que un generador queda en el suelo y el otro lo llevas en las manos:steamthumbsup:

Will this work with Inventory Tetris?

Depends on what you want :). What do you need, Gorjo56?
gorjo56 11 Jan @ 9:09pm 
Do i need another mod to go with this one?

@StepMurp you can put them on any seat. Stand with the generator next to the car, open the vehicle menu (standrt V ), open door, put the generator on the now available seat , close the door. Done.
Deon ☣  [author] 7 Jan @ 2:56pm 
Definitely possible, if it has 40+ space free.
StepMurp 7 Jan @ 11:40am 
Is there a way to put the generator in the back of a van or other vehicle? Not able to do so if it is intended.
JonRedcorn 5 Jan @ 4:23pm 
It's too bad you can't just replace the in game sprites with these models as well.
Deon ☣  [author] 4 Jan @ 10:54am 
Can you send me your full mod list via pastebin or something? I will try to figure out what it is.
im so crafty 4 Jan @ 10:51am 
Yeah it seems to be a mix of mods that i have that's making it duplicate generators but im not sure which ones lol
im so crafty 3 Jan @ 11:07pm 
@deon no not that I know of unless common sense or one of the other generator mods has that feature, I'm going to try to do it again.
Deon ☣  [author] 3 Jan @ 6:21pm 
This mod simply adds a model, it doesn't do anything to game code. Also you are not supposed to be able to jump through the window with a generator. Do you have any mods that let you carry carried items through windows?
im so crafty 3 Jan @ 6:12pm 
I was able to duplicate a generator by jumping through a window that had roofing on the other side. It left one on the other side of the window while i still had the one i was carrying in my hands. I'm not sure if it was because of this mod or a game bug.
Deon ☣  [author] 29 Dec, 2024 @ 3:21pm 
I think that requires custom LUA code, this only allows to modify the item script without custom coding.

I will look into the mod not to drop bags to see if it can be adjusted.
Sage85x 29 Dec, 2024 @ 2:52pm 
Are you able to carry a generator through a window? I think I did once in b42, as I have one on a roof now, but since then, I've tried 2 different models of generators and ALWAYS drop them before hopping through. Even tried a mod for not dropping bags, still drop the generator before jumping through. Didn't have this problem in b41.
Deon ☣  [author] 29 Dec, 2024 @ 9:06am 
That could be done as a separate mod, and I would suggest to consider all furniture, not just generators.
The Chad Banisher 29 Dec, 2024 @ 8:39am 
@mrbelovs420 holy cow I would of never considered that, but I completely agree. Or an animation for them to be able to be carted on a cart or dolly of some sort.
Ladiesman217 29 Dec, 2024 @ 6:02am 
you should make it so you need a strength level of 2 to pick up a gen

Thank you! kinda annoying to see toon carry them in pocket
Deon ☣  [author] 27 Dec, 2024 @ 6:03am 
Indeed, this is a simple fix by making a 3d model. If they wanted to be consistent and show this, they would need to make models for each furniture piece. So while it would be great to have it in vanilla, if EVERYTHING was in vanilla, then 1) we wouldn't be at B42 unstable release, 2) there would be no point in modding QOL things.

@Jimi They are not a AAA studio and they built a the engine for the game themselves. In this update they revamped/added new locations, combat, skills, professions, stealth, loot spawn, animals, fishing, hunting, butchering, farming, blacksmithing and I can go on. Do you think this is a small patch...?
Jimi 26 Dec, 2024 @ 5:33pm 
Modders like this guy here really put the devs to shame! like they took forever to release build 42 yet for some reason they still couldn't include this as a vanilla feature! The amount of content that they put out surely can't justify the eternity it took them!
CarltoN. 25 Dec, 2024 @ 2:53pm 
i dont understand why this isn't a feature in vanilla. ty

what a nice gift for Christmas. cheers mate :cherrypie:
Nik 25 Dec, 2024 @ 1:41am 
Nice!
gleeby deeby 24 Dec, 2024 @ 11:52pm 
I really hope they add this before they release it to main.
Rocky Jet 24 Dec, 2024 @ 7:33am 
This is some great stuff. Really appreciate it.

When collecting animals, it feels like a power plant – nothing is held in hand, but you can see them in the inventory. But as you said, it might be added during the beta process of version 42.
Deon ☣  [author] 24 Dec, 2024 @ 4:06am 
If you mean "show animals that you carry", then it's not in the scope in this mod, but could be an interesting idea. I should see what it looks like in game, I haven't got any animals yet.
[MLT]뉴비 까마귀 24 Dec, 2024 @ 3:59am 
Are there any plans to add animals as well?
Deon ☣  [author] 24 Dec, 2024 @ 3:06am 
I just really love sandbox complex games.

One of patterns I have, I hope you don't. It's ability to pull all nighters and make complex base setups/reach random goals instead of sleeping.

That's how I learnt how to use Blender3d in one day and made these models, because I simply wanted them in the game. It's not very healthy at my age.
WoodyDaOcas 24 Dec, 2024 @ 3:02am 
thanks a lot, sir, it looks very nice :) Looking at your /played, your most fave games, other mods, I see a pattern, I see myself :)
I wonder what other real life traits are common to ppl interested in these kind of games.
Anyway thank you!

With Brutal Handwork, once it's updated to B42, the character should visibly use both hands and not move the left hand. I am waiting for Dhert to release it.
