Thank you so much. I love how your tutorials are so easy to understand! Liked and subscribed.

4 dart traps (2 each side) + the electric fence works very, very well. ala your dart trap base video.
Darts are cheap, and it does take time to run them out of darts.
(shotty turrets get aimed UP as AA defences. heh)
I was wondering how the powered doors worked, now I know. Will be retrofitting the SkyFarms Inc Red Tower of Doom with those.
Particularly the motion sensor.
How did I miss subbing? Derp! fixed that. 🙂
(saved me the time of figuring out how the silly things worked. more time for building and zed perforating)

If you have a fuel generator powering the battery bank and the batteries are charging, if the fuel in the generator runs out does the battery bank automatically kick in?

hi!
great video but i didnt quite get the explanation of how to connect the powered doors, i tried with a motion sensor on the outside and a pressure plate on the inside but when i connect motion sens to the gen and pressure plate to the gen and then both to the door it will only work with one of those removing the last connection, is there a way to fix this issue? i mean it seems that the door itself wont accept two connections and it kinda sucks coz we have to jump through the roof to get out of the base and enter via the motion sensor
thanks in advance

3 years later and TFP still haven’t fixed the clipping blocks issue. This is such an annoying issue. I went to cut down trees last night and I couldn’t see them if I turned one degree left or right of the tree…. These guys have been developing this game for how many years now?

Hey Vedui, how do you make the powered garage door that folds upwards stay rolled to begin with, but then when you walk by a motion sensor it rolls down again? im trying to do your underground parking garage idea but for the life of me i cant figure out how to make them start rolled up

Just a recap… Generator, turned on, connected to battery bank, turned off.. will charge my batteries?

I just discovered this game a couple of weeks ago and I am blown away. If they would remake this game with Unreal Engine 5 it would be the ultimate.

The garage doors, when placed, roll AWAY from you unless you rotate them 🙂 hope that helps comrades

I know this video is older, but, I’m new to 7DtD, and I was really confused by electricity, and how to wire it up. I’ve watched your other vids on it, and this one, and now it’s all clear to me. Thank you for the tutorial.

Excellent video but the powered rolling garage door is 5×3 not 4×3 but overall exellent information for people learning the game!

Thank you for this video. I was wondering how you were able to add in the amount of skill points that you wanted? I would love to be able to do that for some testing on different methods of leveling up my character.

coming from A18.4, from experience, the battery bank will only charge the batteries if the bank is turned on. Having it turned of will force it to be used as a relay and it will get skipped over if you have other stuff being powered at the time. However, keeping it on and having other stuff on too will just draw slightly more power from the main source. The bank will still work as a relay (like in the video)

I really wish the 5×1 pressure plate worked with vehicles. It seems the perfect the size for the 5×3 garage door but nope.

If you cut the power while the doors are open or the bridge is down…..will they stay down/open?

Nice video.but i have a question though. I wanted to setup a lightning all over my base. But sometimes if i connect the electrical parts the game will just remove existing connections and just exchange it with the new one. Do you have a clue why this is happening?it is kind of annoying!!
George Bartley
October 16, 2022 @ 12:04 pm
can you have more than one battery bank in series to extend the lifespan of the system?
Michel Guenette
October 16, 2022 @ 12:08 pm
It would have been nice to see the power output differences between the six levels of batteries. Is it a linear progression from level 1 to level 6? The same goes for the solar cells. Also, if there is a cost involved when buying these things from traders, what kind of range should we expect to see? Like you said, solar cells and solar banks are a late stage purchase, but knowing how much to save up for a rainy day would be great. Do I need 120K or 150K to buy everything at level 6?
Finally, does the durability of the batteries come in to play for their power duration? Will a level 6 battery outlast a level 1 battery under the same workload?
I am looking forward to your next video about electricity.

Solar Panels ???
Alex Tremblay
October 16, 2022 @ 12:12 pm
that’S so ridicoulous that the solar cell is that expansive and is endgame stuff. in rust, you can get it pretty ez.

–(I’m having some issues with the power pass through wiring, I must be missing something but I don’t see how your giving the motion cam power to open the bridge & door when your outside, the only power source is coming from the instant power from the trigger pad)– EDIT I’n my build I used a relay to connect two long distance points and a relay can’t pass power from a trigger pad to a motion cam

Thank you for explaining that you must lock the ammo to make the dart trap operate. I have wasted four hours trying to figure this out . I assumed that the lock ammo choice was to prevent other players nicking my darts! 😁
