Random Shutoff

Description
This mod adds new sandbox options that let you specify an exact day range when both the power and water should shut off!

Mainly made for multiplayer where the number is by default 14, and can only be changed to another static number. Bring the fear of having no idea when your utilities will shut off to your friends in multiplayer!

Should also work in singleplayer if you'd like to make your own custom range instead of the presets provided!

Should be safe to remove from saves, in singleplayer your power/water shutoff dates will be stuck to whatever this mod set them to, in multiplayer your power/water shutoff date will revert to whatever the server sandbox default is (this will bring the power and water back on if your default is higher than whatever the mod rolled). There are also no re-rolls, even if you un-install and re-install the mod.

Should hopefully work fine and not cause any problems but I don't really have that much of a clue when it comes to modding, so if it borks your save file somehow then my apologies. You should probably make a backup before you install this mod, just to be safe.

Also probably incompatible with anything else that changes the sandbox settings mid-game, but I haven't tested it. With the exception of my secret mod , there is built-in compatibility for that ;)

Recently confirmed to be incompatible with Sandbox settings sync fix

Now supports Polish, thanks to Angelard for the translation! :)

when you start a new game in singleplayer, select "Custom Sandbox" playstyle. then go to "Random Shutoff" in the list. from there you can select the earliest and latest day the power and water should go off.

of course, don't make the latest day earlier than the earliest day, or something will probably break.

for local host mp, use "manage settings" then scroll down to near the bottom under sandbox. the "Random Shutoff" tab should be down there. if you don't see it, remember to enable the mod in the mods menu on the main menu.

Thank you Jack for this one. Oh how much I missed that. Great small thing but it can change so much when you start a new run on dedicated server. Great and BIG little addition to the community. :spiffo:

very weird, first i've heard of it bugging like that. you running any other mods that you'd guess fiddle with the water (or power) shutoff dates? and of course i have to ask just to be sure, you 100% have your sandbox settings setup properly for the mod?

tried to change the values on my server to have a min of 30 days befor water can be shut off

it shut off after 11 days

you should be able to completely ignore the default setting in the world tab, this mod should overwrite whatever setting you have selected anyway

that being said, if you want to uninstall the mod for any reason, if you're in singleplayer your power/water shutoff dates will revert to whatever the sandbox setting is. multiplayer will stick to whatever the mod set before you uninstalled it

Since i want the earliest shutoff to be 14 and 30 at maximum which i have set it to in the mod, what should i have it be in the world setting with water+electricity shutoff?
