Generators

[Togasa 5]

Rocket has mentioned that he has started or wants to develop generators in the near future to add in to the end game for things such as underground bases. (http://dayzmod.com/f..._360#entry70115)

I wanted to make this thread and start a discussion about generators and a collaboration of ideas/uses for the generators. If the thread picks up I will list all reasonable ideas in the main post.

The way I see generators is that there are two ways they could exist: A small portable generator which the player could say more in a vehicle, or a bigger generator with a static location.

Possible uses for both types of generators:

• Powering a single house or block.
  
• Powering spotlights
  
• Charging battery dependent equipment (by Thestarling ).
  

Possible uses for a portable generator:

• Jump starting vehicles that have required to be fixed if the battery is dead.
  
• Powering player made bases. (Rocket has discussed this as well)
  
• Powering elevators in building if power is not already on (by Quisari ).
  

Possible uses for a static locational generator:

• Powering large areas of a city or town.
  
• Powering a whole city.
  

Hopefully everyone else has some nice ideas to add to this list and please keep the thread civil.

There already is a Portable Generater Model in the DayZ files, so I think rocket is already working on it.

Fully support your idea too, Apart from the car battery. Repairing a car is hard enough as it is. Unless you have a big team, still.

We need generators to charge batteries on the battery dependent devices that are currently in game.

GPS

NVG

Fancy rifle scopes

Cloaking Devices

Lazor Pistols

the elevators in the hotel in cherno? be able to turn on the power with maybe 120L gas and be able to go to another floor? maybe?

Good ideas, very in depth. ( I mentioned the power player made bases.)

batteries are a good idea!! they can spawn.

traps, camera, radio, toys (car), flashlight, gps, watch, night vision googles, maybe weapons (tazer) and all this stuff working with a battery
