Jostabeere Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Okay. So I was under the impression that lightning storms deactivate everything electrical. And I remember having troubles shooting my crossbow at the beginning when I started playing SE. But now it seems that the lightning storm aren't doing anything... I made a Wyvern breeding pen with a trap in the desert. And my main concern were lightning storms. So I decided to use preserving bins and standing torches instead of ACs and bins/fridges (for my food, water, etc.) But I did install a wind turbine to power up the keypad for gates, a lamp and some ACs for me. Now I'm raising my Wyvern. And there were 2 lightning storms. But they did not deactivate my lamp, nor my ACs. So I'm wondering. What do the storms do, and is this maybe a bug that they do not affect my electrical devices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carsonmatthies Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I'm not sure what they do, I had one guy tell me you couldn't fly during them but I seem to be able too. Also the keypad on my wyvern trap seemed to still work so I'm not sure if they stop electrical things or not. Perhaps it was just glitched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkForThePlayers Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 It's supposed to disable guns and generators (as well as damage generators) but for some reason since the last patch it stopped doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkZoned Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Lightning storms have a 60% chance to knock-out your electrical generators / wind turbines. Turbines out in the Dunes have about a 5% chance to be Knocked Out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoureGarbageBud92 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Think it damages generators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I always felt it effected different area of the map like where the storm actually is but was never certain of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrical storms have a chance to knock out your electrical systems and prevent you from using guns/explosive weapons. I think the chances are lowered when using wind turbines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
