MythN7 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 could make it so the critter can be put into the tread mill. it would have the critter burn off cal way faster than normal, and not gen as much power as a dup can, but could be neat feature.

ImpalerWrG Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I prefer the earlier idea of having a new critter. It should actually looks like some kind of furry sausage maybe with antenna on the both ends so you cant tell which end is the front. The Hatches already have their making coal thing, they don't need another trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheExceed Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 I suggested an electric eel in the aquatic animal section. Gives off 100W every few seconds, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blash365 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 And how to you draw the power of those eels? Do they have a plug on their body to put a wire in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this and it would be hilarious. Make them produce 100W each or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion "stations" (such as a hamster wheel) that critters can temporarily use are fine. A new device such as an aquarium does not really fit. An aquarium would be more of a room type. But how would you integrate the plug in that room? Is the entire room unter constant voltage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water conducts electricity, so you'd really just need some kind of a 1 way input in the water with the eel. Like an underwater tesla coil/lightning rod.

blash365 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Your suggestions are not exactly far fetched, but you are not realizing that you are not suggesting a new animal. You are suggesting an entirely new subsystem. It might be for good or for bad, but you have to realize that it is not "just one animal that generates electricity". How would dupes interact with electrified water? What happens if the water drips to a different body of water? Do metal/ore tiles conduct electricity? Does the water act as a battery (hold a certain capacity) or a wire (simply transmitting the power). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, I think it is a distinct possibility we’ll have an creature source of electricity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the water act as a battery (hold a certain capacity) or a wire (simply transmitting the power). They would take damage, prolonged contact causes a stunned debuff, similar to the fatigue. The electricity would not flow to the new source of water. Although with their buggy tile system, might get some interesting exploits. Metal tiles and structures touching the water would conduct electricity and get heated up and damage dupes without atmo suits. Can be conducted through tiles using certain resource (really minimally) and then none through obsidian/abyssalite. There would be a new power cable buoy added that would be placed in the water to conduct the electricity from the eels. A new structure, like a water tank wouldn't be a bad idea for them though. Catching them would be difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
