    Please add in the Portable Power Generator

    Wondering if this power generator could be added to the editor? It's on every wolf beacon in the campaign. Trust me, I've looked over all objects and gameplay explosive items.

    Just curious, but with over 9,000 items to choose from what's so special about this one item?

    it makes sense for a lot of settings, also it's an explosive item

    And here I just thought I wasn't looking hard enough. I too was looking for this, as it goes perfectly with the portable work light. Most people may not even notice a thing like this, but I like my props to make sense.

    Omg it's like you read my mind... I too want the same thing!! I want my setting to make sense. I use the (lit-up) portable work lights as well lmfao and I was like hmm let me look for a generator for these, but there was none... It's funny how there's someone out there who ran into the EXACT same scenario as me haha.

    I hope they're gonna add it in... For now I'm just using the big electrical generator as a stop-gap.

    It reminds me the experience of portable generator in life.
    My experience is that people want (a) easy and (b) cheap.so I'll focus on portable units.
    Where are you going to (1) store your generator (2) set up the generator to use it? Remember, it may be severe weather so, where could you put it to keep it safe and be able to refuel it easily? If you're using power cords, will they be dry and as far out of the way as possible?
    Small generators (less than 5500 watts) can only do so much. If you overload the unit and damage it, you won't have any power at all. So be smart! Portable units are made up to almost 20k watts but they're not for people on budgets.
    The bottom line is to add up the load (watts) you plan to connect and size your generator at least 25% higher. When motors like the compressor in the refrigerator start up there is a sudden draw of power higher than the normal running load and you want to compensate for that.
    Small appliances will have the wattage marked on them. Lighting circuits will be less than 1200 watts each. Water heater is 4500 watts alone.
    Also,you'll truly get what you pay for...unless you buy from one of those guys selling from the back of their pick-up truck (don't do that). Don't wait till the last minute or you'll be stuck with whatever is left in the stores.
    Oh, and the "trick" with connecting the generator to the dryer outlet to backfeed the house? DON'T YOU DARE!! It will result in damage and/or injury...
    Hope that helped a little...sorry it's so wordy
    What the hell?

    I am having a Duromax Generator that are high in quality and low at cost. These portable generators meets all the safety certifications and are hence safe to be used for your outdoor activities.

    OptiSystem just uses discretionary units (a.u.) and we by and large expect a 1:1 connection with volts or current (opposition = 1 ohm). So the yield of the sine generator can be seen in volts. The Electrical Power Meter Visualizer can be utilized to quantify the normal force (it will give brings about Watts or dBm) in view of I^2*R or V^2/R. Since R=1, it basically takes the information examined signal, squares each worth and take the normal. Good wishes.
