I think if you add solar energy to your mod (yes, we have immersive solar arrays, but that mod is a bit outdated, even though not bad at all).

Anyway, if you add it, I think this mod will blow up even more.
Thanks for a really nice mod, I love electronics now!

I really wish I could install solar panels. There's even a mod called "Immersive Solar Arrays" that works well on the B41, but the B42 version is apparently having some bugs. If you can actually make automatic doors and other alternatives for electrical energy like solar panels and wind power, make a battery bank, maybe even an electric car or electric bike, it would be perfect. I wish you success in trying to make the mod.

hope you can make solar panels. we don't have those in b42

will it be compatable with ISA and be accurate for 1993

Really neat to see a real electrician give some much needed love to this skill. Outside of MP (for crafting walkie talkies, and even still, it's hardly useful) there is truly almost no reason to level this skill. Super happy to have a reason too, I always liked the idea of electrics playing a bigger role in the game, beyond replacing lamps with batteries lol

"Could you add a video explaining what this mod does? Also how it works. So that people like me don't have to spend ages trying to figure that out whilst debugging their modlist."
I added this into suggestions too.

Would you be able to add this into a currently-running world? Thanks a bunch!

@Nemesis - Oh yes! That's an oversight @.@ I probably did something wrong during the update. I'll check it as soon as possible.

I just saw you updated the mod, but now the tags say it works only on build 41. Is that an oversight?

I have an electricity still turned on and no generator near therefore. Military ham connected to grid but still uses battery and can't be turned on without batteries

Would love an assemble and disassemble function for tv's etc. Let's face it many take things apart to learn how it ticks and what better than putting it back together and notice it still works as a way to learn. Maybe a cool down or diminishing returns or chance to break pieces to balance it.

Сообщение для русских, у кого проблема с кодировкой.

Открываем папку с модом. Примерный путь:
LWBetterElectronics\42\media\lua\shared\Translate\RU

Открываем все файлы поочереди в NotePad++, Там - Кодировка - Преобразовать в UTF-8. Сохраняем. Проблема пропадает.

anyone else can't place light switches in B42?

can there be a "practice electronics" function to diassemble and reassemble electronics? similar to how mechanics is leveled up

radio keeps shutting down constantly after connecting to power grid...only mod related to electricity is multiple generators

Hi Luno, just a quick heads up that your mod is still spamming this:

Have a nice weekend.

Yes, russian translation depends on the encoding, change it, haven't figured it out yet. You can search in the files of other mods, how they change the encoding so that there is no ????

This mod is great with the new bombs buff

Pls fix RU translation to UTF-8

i have a weird thing, all text showed as "???????", does somebody know how to fix it?

Hello, can you please fix the translation into Russian?

I've been watching for more motorized traps in the mod lists and this would be the perfect mod to do it.
I'm thinking motorized blade traps like in 7 Days to Die, aka Zombie Blender, or even automated turrets with sensors

If you press the button assigned to first remote, an error will be throwed because the ISOPlayer is null, I guess this can be simply fix by a null check, just FYI

내생각인데 모드 제목과 포스터를 자동문 관련된 것으로 변경하는게 좋을거 같에
나도 검색 검색 검색해서 겨우 찾아낸거고 지금 이상태로는 사람들이 이 모드가 자동문인지 모를거야 그리고 빌드 42에서 정상 작동하는 자동문 모드는 이거 하나뿐이야

근거리 원격 제어 장치를 자동문 트리거로 쓰려는데

격발 버튼과 주파수 재설정 버튼이 너무 가까이 있음;; 잘못눌러서 리셋 될까봐 신경쓰이는데 이거 어케 해결 안됨?

Hey Dude -- this mod has the potential to fill in a niche that is underserved right now. I got this message in the debug log and I thought I'd leave it hear in case it helps:

function: hasRemoteInInventory -- file: RemoteDoors.lua line # 443 | MOD: Better Electronics
function: toggleFirstRemote -- file: RemoteDoors.lua line # 599 | MOD: Better Electronics.

I need an electric fence mod ;)

Something I've often thought about was running power lines to fences to run lights without having to have a ton of generators (or modded solar panels). Is that something that is feasible with this mod?

Man i am strudying on electrician-automachinery and i was searching for a mod like this, thank you so much ((i love electronics))

Could you like add a way to craft Scrap Electronics but using expensive stuff like gold sheet and metals or coppers for it and make it only available through a magazine and high level electronics? I'm getting way too many coppers, metal and gold but i would like to have a use for them in electronics for late game. (I play with Extra Bombs Mod too so it gets expensive on Scraps)

I kinda hate that i still need to loot for scrap electronics even tho i'm supposed to be an expert on it. and my rng is a bit unlucky that i still fail to get materials from tv and radio even at level 10.

Did a bit more testing and found a way to make it work. Use the place item (like you would furniture) and right clicking will give you the option to connect it to the grid. After that you can pick it up and move it like a regular radio. Hope that helps someone!

I sometimes have the option to connect my radio to the grid, but sometimes when right-clicking the option isn't there... Is there a requirement for it? Tool?

cool mod

The "@hades-84 ordum mundus glorimus" it's an excellent idea, I also used this mod in build 41 and it was great.

my guy you are a life saver, ive been annoyed with no longer having wired radios since the mod i used in B41 seems abandoned and i miss having a remote garage door. thank you for this

podrias añadir mecanicas de sensores para puertas de seguridad en la base refugio y hogar similiar a este mod link https://youtu.be/QYbXHrO8JEc?t=7

pero en el suyo con sistema de alarma y la activacion de las luces ya que ahora en la 42 el sistema de luz es mucho mejor y mas detallado controlar la seguridad de nuestro refugio con la computadora abrir puertas cerrar puerta encender luces esas cosas

Thanks for the update, I hope you can feel better about your mental state

Is this compatible with the mod that extends battery life?

Is rewiring radios to take grid power in for B42?

Hey guys ^^ I'm currently not in the best mentalstate to expand on this mod, however I took some time and updated it to V42~ Some things liker regenerating Car Batteries I was not yet able to carry over without massive duplication-bugs so please be patient. Some things with the Main-Game seems to have broken too like using the Noise-Makers without any attechments - I'll look into that.

As for Questions: - Candys are purely there for my personal debugging and nostalgy x) sorry
-Home Alarms should be Craftable now
-I have no control over mod ID sorry
-I think I can't design an UI for this mod @.@ it's above my Skill level
-I'll think about lowering the levels for stuff a bit :)
-remote Door-Motor still is working only local ~ Turns Out MP is complicated :S

Did the ability for other players to use the Remote Motor ever get fixed? Thanks in advance! Love the mod!

Can we have the option to change at what level can certain items be crafted. I like the concept but at the same time, prefer to be able to craft some things like reverse engineer stuff at mid levels as a way to grind rather than dissembling everything

Wish automatic door function can add UI, like this mod: Remote Door Control System UI

changed mod ID with no notice..

i think it makes tv not work with carry everything mod

thank you!

I've done about 3/4 of the play-throughs with this mod. I love this mod, but I swear the spawn rates for the training kit seem insanely low.

Any update on the Home Alarm recipe?
