I think it would be great if the developers could get some stuff into the game regarding electric powered devices.
For example:
- Solar collector, which generates electric energy while sun is shining
- Inverter to be able to run devices with alternating current
- Bring in something like a fridge and a frozen state for items (meat, vegetables, fruits) to increase durability time
+ Cooler bags, run with 9V battery for durability and without 9v battery for less durability - but still keeping items cold for quite a while.
With a feature like this you’d be able to have lights running for much longer etc.
Another idea: Bring something in like a large home battery which can be charged through solar panels and run with for example up to 4 truck batteries to have energy while night or rain. And running upon this basis you could bring stuff in like electrical door locks or something. That would be a huge upgrade for basebuilding!
