Hydra (DayZ) 472 Posted August 31, 2012 I found one of these before. No bloody idea what they are for, but they make good bait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wuggie 7 Posted August 31, 2012 afaik they can give power to citys like cherno etc :) if you place it right it will light the whole damn town up pretty much at a night server...at least, thats what i've heard :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baralai 14 Posted August 31, 2012 To my knowledge it's a hacked in item with no actual purpose. I would have hoped it could have been used, but we'll probably end up seeing the full result (and addition of this item) in standalone to allow for power in city's / personal bunkers.

SmashT 10907 Posted August 31, 2012 As far as I am aware they don't legitimately exist and currently serve no purpose, Rocket has talked about implementing generators or something similar in the future though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesButlin 108 Posted August 31, 2012 As far as I am aware they don't legitimately exist and currently serve no purpose, Rocket has talked about implementing generators or something similar in the future though.I saw a suggestion about that somewhere on reddit, the ability to restore power to a town, causing it to light up in the sky around the map. Would be wicked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saurik 0 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Generators's huh? Never seen one in the DayZ Wiki and Dean Hall hasn't given any details on them.. so they must not exist. As Brailai says, they are just hacked in/scripted items that serve no purpose. Edited August 31, 2012 by Saurik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lolo34 0 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) I saw this on Cherno occupies 6 slots and saw many tents by the server Edited September 1, 2012 by lolo34 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
demonic-budha 2 Posted September 29, 2012 Damn, so I found a Geny and cleared room in my bag to carry it round only to find out it isnt meant to be in the game, sad face....Thought the ability to light up a town (or even single buildings) would be pretty cool.

smore98 225 Posted September 29, 2012 It would be nice to have these as an extremely rare find, in the case of building bases in maps. Good way to keep power up, but looks like your gonna have to keep your tabs on dat jerrycan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ltsmiles89 3 Posted September 13, 2013 Can someone tell me how to power one? I put it next to a fuel pump that says needs power, but it still says needs power. Halp plz? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxley 2228 Posted September 13, 2013 There are no portable generators in vanilla dayz. You'd be better off asking on the relevant forum for whichever mod/server you are playing on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bernharde 4 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) I've played on a non Epoch server and found one of these. They take up too much inventory space, though. If they don't have any use, I'll leave that one. It was on UK431. Edited January 20, 2014 by Bernharde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
