Aero Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 The question is: Why does the health go down of electric fence posts when someone goes through the wire that connects 2 of them? The health doesn't always seem to go down and it's only 1 of the 2 posts that are connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katitof Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Because all traps wear with use/require maintenance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 I can understand blade traps and spikes traps because zombies are getting against those. But the shotgun/auto turrets don't require any maintenance, even when they have shot 1000's of bullets. But that would be the same with a generator. Shouldn't that need some maintenance if it's running for weeks ingame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morloc Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Excellent suggestions... 1) Degrade turrets. 2) Degrade generator. -Morloc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krytek Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 The "maintenance" on the turrets/generator is the ammo/fuel that goes in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 The "maintenance" on the turrets/generator is the ammo/fuel that goes in it. Yeah, but that fuel is allso needed to power the electric fence posts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is, everything has a cost to keep it going and that cost isn't all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadamier Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Well, from a RW Tech standpoint - you're pushing tonnes of watts through those connections... Ever hear of 'arching' through electrical contacts?!? Same principle here. The resistance is just enough to prevent that arching without anyone/anything between them (bear in mind that steel structures technically can effect that LOL but that's not a factor in the game)... So when someone/something gets in between them the resistance drops enough for it to arc and it shocks them. That arcing seriously degrades those contacts/electrodes/etc...

Aero Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 But the strange thing also is... I placed a bunch to test... and some took dmg and some didn't... I couldn't really figure out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
