Mod «ERS - Energy Routing System» for Project Zomboid

ERS – Energy Routing System is a modular late-game energy framework that introduces realistic power generation, storage, and automated distribution fully integrated with weather and survival gameplay. It functions as a true off-grid energy management system for long-term survival.

Renewable Energy Systems

• Solar Energy: Output varies based on time of day and weather conditions.
• Wind Energy: Dynamic production dependent on wind strength and storms.
• Hydraulic Energy: Provides stable, constant power when placed on land adjacent to rivers. Due to engine limitations, turbines must be near a valid water source to function.

Energy Storage & Automation

• Controller-based energy routing with automatic battery charging and discharging.
• Intelligent fallback to vanilla generators, which activate only when renewable storage is depleted and shut down when renewable energy becomes available.
• Priority-based power allocation and device grouping (lighting, refrigeration, industry) via the Energy Distribution Controller.

Weather & Environment Integration

Energy production dynamically reacts to clear weather, cloud cover, storms, snow, wind intensity, and day/night cycles.

User Interface

• Central controller UI for full grid management.
• Dedicated status panels for batteries, turbines, and solar panels.
• Visual indicators for production, storage, and routing.
• Clear role separation for Master and Slave batteries.

Compatibility

• Compatible with vanilla electrical devices and most infrastructure mods.
• Does not replace vanilla power systems.
• Supports Build 42.13+ in Singleplayer and Multiplayer.
