Restore Utilities B41 [B42 MP in desc]

The B42 port is here! Please read below for info

For the time being, the B42 port is placed as its own workshop entry. It is (for now) missing the map mods contained within the B41 version of the mod.

Feel free to play with the update, but please read the workshop description before downloading. I've explained how to use the mod now that you can't repair at the designated buildings anymore. [h3]Click here to go to the B42 page[/h3]

enjoy :) please leave comments for that build over there

Bring the power and the water back!

This mod adds the ability to restore the power and water grids in Knox Country, optionally comes with both a custom power substation and water treatment building to restore their respective utility at!

To repair the power or water, you'll need some electric skill, along with electronic scrap and optionally any "fuses" you come across that will give various bonuses to your repair. But be aware that your patchwork repairs will only last so long, you'll have to come back and repair it again at some point!

To initiate repairs, find the building that houses the utility you're trying to repair and head into the room with the PC in it (with the brown square floors), then simply right-click anywhere while standing in the room and you should see more information on how to repair!

Do note that no matter where you complete repairs from, their effects will be felt across the entire map (which SHOULD include any locations added by any map mods you may be running!)

Additionally, if you don't want to use the provided restore utilities map sub-mod (included when you subscribe to this mod), there are alternative options for setting up repair zones. See this guide for more details, or check below for map mods made by other mod authors who have kindly included restore utilities support!

Maps that support this mod

If not using any of the following map mods, you can enable the Restore Utilities Map sub-mod (included in the mod download) to add 1 place to repair each utility at, locations can be found in the mod preview screenshots on the steam workshop page.

Thank you to you wonderful map makers who have added support for this mod in your maps :D

Sandbox Settings Sync Fix - ALMOST CERTAINLY INCOMPATIBLE, if you're running into issues with your sandbox settings reverting, please try removing this mod if you have it installed.

Water and power controls (and by extension, Bikinitools, by the same author) - ALMOST CERTAINLY INCOMPATIBLE, like the above mod, please try removing this if you're having problems with sandbox settings reverting.

Random Shutoff (by me :) - compatible! Specifically made to work alongside each other

Blackouts - compatible! I worked alongside the Blackouts mod authors to ensure compatibility, if you have issues running these two mods together please let me know!

Existing savegame compatibility

Should be fine to install in an on-going playthrough. Though if you've already generated the chunks where the utilities are then I don't think they'll regenerate as my mod's buildings, so you'll have to add coordinates where you can repair by yourself (enable debug mode in singleplayer or have admin powers in mp)!

MP Compatibility

Works perfectly fine in MP, both dedicated host and local host! Though for larger servers you may want to consider adding your own repair locations in harder to reach areas than default. You may also want to consider changing the default sandbox settings!

Also probably incompatible with your immersion if you enjoy a hyper-realistic zomboid, power and water networks require a lot of smart people in a lot of different places, a single person probably wouldn't be able to do it all. :p
