Genset - Towable Generator - Vehicles for Project Zomboid

Mod «Genset - Towable Generator» for Project Zomboid

12:40
19

Genset adds a towable generator trailer to Project Zomboid. Instead of searching for a stationary generator, players can find this trailer, hitch it to any vehicle with a tow bar, and transport it to their base. Once unhitched, it functions exactly like a standard vanilla generator, including the same actions, animations, sounds, and skill requirements.

  • Power Connection: Plug it into a building requiring Electrical level 3 or knowledge of the Generator recipe, just like the vanilla generator.
  • Operation: Start, stop, and check the generator via the right-click menu or by pressing V next to it for the vehicle radial menu.
  • Maintenance: The unit degrades while running and can be repaired using electronics scrap at the vanilla rate.
  • Noise: It produces the same loud noise as a standard running generator.
  • Fuel System: The generator draws fuel directly from the trailer's integrated gas tank. Refuel it at a pump or by pouring from a gas can. There is no separate fuel gauge to manage.
  • Vehicle Mechanics: Features realistic tires, brakes, suspension, and a gas tank that wear like any vanilla trailer. It can be towed by cars, pickups, and vans.
  • Safety Mechanic: The generator stalls if hitched while running. It remains off when unhitched until manually restarted.

The trailer spawns in contractors' yards, carpenter shops, junkyards, farms, electrical suppliers, and fuel depots. It is uncommon by default, with approximately one spawn per thirty-five eligible locations. Each unit appears in one of four paint jobs: olive, red, blue, or yellow.

Sandbox Options:

  • Spawn Frequency: Ranges from Never to Everywhere.
  • Fuel Use: Adjustable percentage of vanilla generator burn rate (100 is vanilla, 0 is infinite).
  • Wear Rate: Adjustable percentage of vanilla degradation rate. Repair costs are not scaled.
  • Initial Condition: Pristine, Used, Worn, or Anything.

Power range, vertical range, and base fuel consumption adhere to the server's global generator settings. This mod does not introduce independent range options.

Technical Information:

  • Compatible with Build 42.
  • Supports multiplayer.
  • Adds one new vehicle without replacing any vanilla files.
  • No dependencies required.
  • Workshop ID: 3803022693
  • Mod ID: Genset
