Lenok Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I heard that on scorched earth turned off the electricity when you go to sand storms, but I really love this map, whether it is possible as that to solve this problem? because I want to hatch an egg and the power can be turned off.

Weiss Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Thunderstorms can cause the power to be shut off, not sandstorms. Get a jerboa, learn the warning sounds it makes, and you'll know what kind of weather will hit next. If you fear that your ACs will be turned off, just pick the egg up in time. We do all our breeding on SE without problems. As long as you don't want to store eggs for an extended period of time you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sreta012 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Wind Turbines are solution....but in order to have windturbines work all the time...u need to place small platform with turbines on it in the desert where wind is blowing 100% ...and from that spot...take cables all the way to your base...that way u will have free electricity and no problem with em storms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sreta012 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Oh also....u dont need to repair turbines like u need generators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I agree, I'd never use a generator on SE. It's so annoying to repair it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onimusha759 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Electrical cables only stay live for 20 cable lengths from the turbine, unless theyve fixed that. Also the storm only hits a specific region when it happens, the canyon and dunes seem least likely to get hit. Ive been in many storms and only 2 ever actually hit the canyon i live in. The jerboa does his warning regardless where it hits but only the area enveloped in the dark ion storm is actually effected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sreta012 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Oh yes, i forgot to mention that em storm hits some regions, not the whole map, and ye, its true, em storms do not happen often in canyons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up in my turbine, it was connected and spinning and doing nothing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the cables in your base first and than snap the windmills and generator on the cables, not the other way around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroSeconds Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 build bottom 5 pillars with metal, rest up with stone, make a platform under cable and snap it, if it doesn't snap go 1 unit up/down. or move the cable 1 unit up/down as for the generator that can be inside your base snapped to your network, I'm guessing that you have all the cables set up 1/8 units into the top of ur foundations? generators will still snap on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
