But now you dont need to harvest 👍🏻 I gathered 30k plant fibers . . . And only needed 16-18k to get to 100 talor 😂😂🤦♂️ But now i have tons of fuel for furnaces
A request for future testing Cap00. I have problems with lighting. Inside my base ceiling lights don't hit the ground. Outside, lights don't seem to cut the dark very well. Would you be willing to test different lights in different situations to work out the best for each? Example: does a particular light perform differently in different positions. Is quality of light output affected by different equipment. Is there optimum light heights. Anything else you may think of... Thanks for a great job, as usual.
Course at the 4 minute mark my first thought was "Maybe the sample size is just too small" -- in this case the sample size being the short length of time they were left running. Should try running the experiment over multiple days.
Hey, capp, I was wondering a small detail about the height test you did, what if you are at the 150 mark I think it was, and then the blood moon activates. I was thinking that even if you're high up before the blood moon that it might auto hunt you.
Regarding your video on escaping the blood-moon horde, on my singleplayer survival, I managed to remain undetected during the horde of day 7. What I am currently doing is building an underground base at bedrock level, underneath a mountain. From the floor of my base, all the way up to ground level is 163 blocks up. The plan is to dig a big hole all the way down so the zombies will fall in and die. You need a large elevation difference for zombies to take damage at all, since free-fall bases were considered overpowered, so the amount of fall damage zombies take is reduced. What I read is that the threshold is a height of around 150 blocks for zombies to start breaking their legs. What I wasn't prepared for is that the horde couldn't find me at all, with the exception of three of 'em that fell down the hole (which currently is still very small, because I have a volume 9 X 4 X 163 blocks to dig through). The zombies that fell died immediately on impact, which surprised me. The rest simply died on their own by the time I climbed back up in the morning. They had been digging into the ground as if they knew I was down there somewhere, but throughout the entire night, the "undetected" symbol was displayed.
I know this might be tedious but in videos like this could you add additional information on how long a gallon of gas will last. Since the amount of wattage being used is consistent with how much gas is used. Could you maybe show how much gas is used with 10 watts for an hour. So someone could calculate their own math. An example. Sally is about to take on the day 7 horde. She has 3 blade traps, 5 relays, and 100 gas. How long will Sally's generator last if 3 gallons of gas is used every hour for every 10 watts. To me I would love to know this information because I want calculate how many days I could last if I had X number of blade traps running all day or X number of watts. That would help me prioritize on if I need to farm for oil soon or not. Even though you didn't explicitly state the amount of gas used per hour. I calculated based on your first test. The last generator which was using 10 watts was started at 14:07 and you opened the gen at 19:07. Only 3 gallons of gas was used per 5 hours. I think I might end up doing my own testing to get a more exact time frame. This video was very helpful. Thanks. Here's an algorithm I came up with based on your testing. (Watts + Hours)/5 = Gas Examples Your testing. (10 + 5) / 5 = 3 My Example.(40 + 5) / 5 = 9 Representing 40 watts for 5 hours will need 9 gas. Other variations of this eqation can be be as follows. (5 * Gas) - Hours = Watts Or (5 * Gas) - Watts = Hours Of course this may not be an exact equation. This is only what I came up with based on your video. I might test this in my game to get a better equation. If anyone cares I can post my results.
Ive tested this in my game and developed a new equation thats more accurate but not the exact equation the game uses I dont think. (5.5 * Gas) / Watts = Hours (Watts * Hours) / 5.5 = Gas (5.5 * Gas) / Hours = Watts I think this equation will produce a -5% margin error. Please note I am using 120 minute days and I believe Capp is also (maybe?). You can easily convert by using the variable x and 120. X will represent how long your days are and that will give you the correct numbers for your day lengths. Here are all the equations with the conversion. (5.5 * Gas * 120) / (Watts * x) = Hours (Watts * Hours * x) / (5.5 * 120) = Gas (5.5 * Gas * 120) / (Hours * x) = Watts
I am reading this and will provide a better response once I get my brain up to speed enough to think about it more clearly. didn't want you to think i was ignoring you :)
No problem. The more I look at my equations for some reason they don't seem to add up to your video. You used 10 watts for 5 hours and you used 3 gas but, my equation says you should of used 10 gas. I've tested this equation in my own game and everything adds up correctly. Anyways no need for a response if you like. I like your tests and only wanted to test my self to see if I could create an equation to help the community. By any chance are you using 30 or 40 minute days? Or did you use the fast forward button? Actually im almost certain your not using 120 minute days because when I convert the hours variable for 60, 40, and 30 minute days the amout of gas you spent comes closer to a 40 minute day or 50.
so you could have a generator running for your lights only and have a auto sensor for each room that will turn the lights on and off as you enter and exit the rooms as you use them thus conserving gas and only having to mabe refuel them once every 2-3 in game days especially if you are on a MP server
Man I with the Xbox one had this update 😢 bums me out wen I see these videos but hell it make me more excited for wen we do get it thanks for the Entertainment Cap keep up the great work
*Question: * Have you seen the few 'Test' objects/items the game has while in creative mode? I saw a Test Elevator that was activatable to go up/down a few blocks
Thought about that honestly. But it's within seconds and each time I let the generators run for a while, and also turned them back off in the same order, so it all evened out.
Hey Capp, been watching a few of your videos lately, and i've noticed that you sound very similar to Destin from SmarterEveryDay. Your cadence and accent are very close. Are you from the same place? Have you been told this before?
bought a pc... now my ps4 is a Netflix machine collecting dust .. i'm in love my PC actually costed less than my PS4 and my PC is 5X stronger.. i got a once in a lifetime deal for $300 i5-7500 MSI GTX 1060 6gb "Gaming X" 16GB RAM 2TB HD 240GB SSD windows 10 pro steam account with 26 games!!! .... i threw the money at him. He was on his way back home to NY and needed fast cash... a pawn shop probably would have game him 1K for it.. I'm now apart of the Master Race! lmao... best thing is i don't have to even buy games anymore with all the cracks.. plus the mods... omg its endless.... now i understand how gaming is meant to be.. keep in mind i'm a Sony fan boy from the 90's when gaming was in the golden years but now... i understand.. lol .. still love PlayStation tho
I'd love to, but people don't watch those anymore on my channel. Last time I tried one, it bombed quickly. It's a heck of a lot of work and time. So if I'm going to spend that time and effort, these testing and tutorial videos do much better. :)

Capp00 you should try and do an animated series for this game. I'd definitely watch it.
Man those run a lot longer then i though. Guess I didn't need an entire storage chest of fuel for 1 generator -_-
Not unless you plan on powering the entire city with 1 :)
But now you dont need to harvest 👍🏻
I gathered 30k plant fibers . . . And only needed 16-18k to get to 100 talor 😂😂🤦♂️ But now i have tons of fuel for furnaces
Cool test Capp00, your efforts for checking in details is highly appreciated.
Thank you very much :)
Another great vid Capp. Sounds logical, the more wattage you use the more gas you use up.
Thanks! Yeah, it makes sense, except for when you don't use any gas at all if it's not powering anything lol
Very true.

Thanks for a great job, as usual.
Good idea :)
Love the methodical testing.
Thank You :)
Thanks for these. Saves me a lot of trial an error figuring things out
Happy to. And thanks for watching :)
Really appreciate your testing videos. You really do great work. TYVM
Thank you for watching. I appreciate the kind words :)
Course at the 4 minute mark my first thought was "Maybe the sample size is just too small" -- in this case the sample size being the short length of time they were left running. Should try running the experiment over multiple days.
Just in time for my lunch break!
Hope you enjoyed it :)
Great video again Capp. Was curious if you noticed the engines losing durability while they run?
Thanks. Yes they do, but it's rather slow. I don't know the exact decay rate.
can you see if it uses gas if you use a on off swich?
Been wondering this for a long time thanks for the great vid and info
Thank you :)

Here's an algorithm I came up with based on your testing. (Watts + Hours)/5 = Gas
Examples
Your testing. (10 + 5) / 5 = 3
My Example.(40 + 5) / 5 = 9 Representing 40 watts for 5 hours will need 9 gas.
Other variations of this eqation can be be as follows.
(5 * Gas) - Hours = Watts Or
(5 * Gas) - Watts = Hours
Of course this may not be an exact equation. This is only what I came up with based on your video.

Keep up the great work
Thank You :)
Nice one Capp
Thanks buddy!
Hey capp00 great video but i would like to know if connecting a generator to a timer relay would drain any gas when it's not active.
Love your videos they help me so much thanks :)
Thank you very much!
Thanks for this video, very informative
Thank YOU for watching :)
@capp00 Couple more questions for you. Does mining ores give more XP than mining stone or sand? How much fuel/energy is used when turrets are used?
thanks for the info ,great stuff👍
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thx again great video.
Man I with the Xbox one had this update 😢 bums me out wen I see these videos but hell it make me more excited for wen we do get it thanks for the Entertainment Cap keep up the great work
*Question: *
Have you seen the few 'Test' objects/items the game has while in creative mode? I saw a Test Elevator that was activatable to go up/down a few blocks
I've seen some of them. I don't typically do too much with them since they aren't fully developed and cause crashes and stuff.
Gday Will they ever get solar working correctly ?
you should of wired up three switches next to each other when doing this type of test to get a closer starting time and stopping time
Thought about that honestly. But it's within seconds and each time I let the generators run for a while, and also turned them back off in the same order, so it all evened out.
Now someone needs to come up with an algorithm for fuel usage per watt.
I will happily let someone else handle that one! :)
Hey Capp, been watching a few of your videos lately, and i've noticed that you sound very similar to Destin from SmarterEveryDay. Your cadence and accent are very close. Are you from the same place? Have you been told this before?
Hey there. I've honestly never heard of that channel. Based on your comment, I'm going to take that as a compliment though. :)
Capp00 Compliment indeed. Check out SmarterEveryDay when you’ve got some time. Really great content. Thanks for the 7 days to die science!
Will do!
Does the noise of the generators attract zombies? I'm on console so we don't have these yet.
No, it doesn't
Ok thanks capp, thanks for the vids
Thank YOU for watching :)
Yes sir your videos have helped me out alot. Looking forward to the next one.
i wish they would update console :P
I know right
bought a pc... now my ps4 is a Netflix machine collecting dust .. i'm in love my PC actually costed less than my PS4 and my PC is 5X stronger.. i got a once in a lifetime deal for $300

steam account with 26 games!!! .... i threw the money at him. He was on his way back home to NY and needed fast cash... a pawn shop probably would have game him 1K for it..
I'm now apart of the Master Race! lmao... best thing is i don't have to even buy games anymore with all the cracks.. plus the mods... omg its endless.... now i understand how gaming is meant to be.. keep in mind i'm a Sony fan boy from the 90's when gaming was in the golden years but now... i understand.. lol .. still love PlayStation tho
Couldn't you of just added a switch to turn them all on at the same time?... Is this the vanilla version?
No, doesn't work that way.
Engine quality helps determine tool quality for those that need them to craft.
If u are a modder you can easy make use less fuel when u are powering all ur lights
do a lets play capp
I'd love to, but people don't watch those anymore on my channel. Last time I tried one, it bombed quickly. It's a heck of a lot of work and time. So if I'm going to spend that time and effort, these testing and tutorial videos do much better. :)
Yo cappoo can you make a box to trap live zombie and release the zombie on some poor noob
Sortof yes. You'd have to have it massively reinforced so they don't just beat through the walls, which they will try anyway.
Capp00 but could you test it. Like the best way to build it and load the trap
Capp00 I would really enjoy that also I am subbed
Capp -acity, lol
ba-dum-tsh!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
