5:54 Just a note: You should *never* be swimming in gasoline. That's dangerous.
You should drink just a little every day - to build up an immunity!
Don't forget a match if you're doing either activity
I used to use the speaker as a zombie warning because my base was too large and I hooked up a motion sensor to each side of my base so it would scream at me to tell me where a zombie was coming from.
Is this for Alpa 20 or 21 ?
Wouldn't that just draw in more zombies due to the noise? Lol
Honestly I do the same 😂
No sadly the speaker doesn not attract zombies or generate heat
I've been playing for 260 hours, still never used electricity. I think this has inspired me to finally do so!!!
I've been using this guide for about 10 months as my go-to electricity guide. its the best. I do want to mention a disagreement i now have though, when discussing battery banks and solar banks. I've been using generators exclusively because that seemed like the only power source worth using. However, recently our group starting a crafting base (in the wasteland), and we needed some automated defenses and a powered door. I had a million quality 6 batteries saved up, so i tried out the battery bank. it works perfectly, and you don't need/want a switch (this is my disagreement). if the battery bank and generator (and later solar) all can power the system, then the generator powers the system when on, and recharges the batteries. when the generator runs out of gas, the batteries take over until they deplete. if you have solar, the solar charges the batteries and runs the system during the day, the batteries run it at night, no intervention needed. its perfect for constant base defense in multiplayer. Generators are still way easier for horde night.
Making a vault door open via motion sensor has that "Arkham Batcave" feel to it.
...And now I want to make the Batcave in 7 Days to Die.
This was by far the most educational 7 days to die video ive ever watched. thanks for the tutorial!!
One thing about tripwires or cameras triggering something forever: You can use that to check if someone was at your house. Place a camera triggering a light whenever a stranger says hello, and when you come back a few hours later and see the light turned on, you know someone was there. That's useful if you have shops/vending machines and don't want to check them manually all the time.
I play on console, kinda new to game but I haven't seen any of these cameras, floodlights, etc In my recipes. Do I need to level up certain skills?
@@I3lazedOne the console version doesn’t have the update but I hear they are bringing out a new update for console
What I like about this video it's short and to the point, you explain Robotic turrets are nothing to do with the electrical skill, I find the video entertaining, you test stuff and don't make assumptions about damage and how things work.
I love this so much! Thanks for taking the time to make this. Longer video, but PACKED with information.
Glad it was helpful!
My favourite lifehack is combining each turret with 1 sensor, which activates that turret. It consumes less electricity and doesnt attract screamers. The downside is more sensors to produce and more complicated wiring.
Excellent content. Your delivery is a good pace and you are very clear in your explanation. Possibly the best 7d2d tutorial I've watched.
Damn bro I sure can always count on you and your vids to properly explain and teach shit about 7DTD, I'm doing my longest run so far after being on a long hiatus and I believe this is the fourth video of yours I happened upon while tryin to learn stuffz. Thanks for being clear, articulate, PROFFESIONAL & SERIOUS(I cannot stress this enough there are too damn many 7DTD channels on here that just dig so deep into my skin that I refuse to even click on anything that forces my ears to bleed due to hearing them speak) and sensible as well as not taking advantage of my time to let the clock tick on your vid for more $$$ at the expense of my time and sanity. You don't know how nice it is to have someone explain shit properly, and also get straight to the point, and to receive it without needing to outsource to other channels with the same bs:P so keep doin what you doin cause I might still need ya down the road :P haha 💯💯💯
Another amazing video! Very useful info that definitely answered some questions and provided many great ideas/techniques!
This was AMAZING! Best tutorial I have seen yet! You just got another sub!
Outstanding job, thank you for the info! Subscribed~
Awesome video. Most helpful one on electricity I've seen!
Thankyou very much, I have been charged with learning the electrics of the game Your video has really helped!
You are a legend for making a proper tutorial with lots of tricks 👉 Thank you so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
great Electricity refresher course!! Well done!!
My ongoing problem is powered drawbridges and opening/closing them automatically. I will try the trigger plates trick. Excellent video and very clear. You have the chops to be an educator. 🤟
Good primer for getting into electrical items. Thanks!
What I needed as a new player, thanks!
Wow!! So many good tips! Im a freaking electrition now!🙏🏽
Thank you!
I just started getting into the electrical stuff and I've made a lot of mistakes.
Also, now I know why my dart trap isn't working!
Really helpful starter guide on how electrcity works!
I never knew about the timed relays. I always just flipped a switch to turn my lights on and off at night. Good to know!
Video is very well done! Thank you so much!
Great video man you saved me probably an hour of struggling
Great video, Pal, very educational :) Thank you
Great guide on this topic ^^ Would've been really helpful when I first started learning about it, so it should definitely help any newcomers
splendid content IzPrebuilt. I broke the thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the quality work.
High quality content as always :)
Keep up the good work 👍 liking these 7dtd videos and guides
I know you recommend generator banks, but this video made me want to switch to battery banks and solar haha
I hope I can get to that level. Truly amazing.
Great stuff!
Lmao this guide Fr made me a lowkey expert, ima do generate banks until I get money up for solars, nice guide bro nice !!
im new to 7 days but its fun, and your videos are actually helping
Perfect tutorial, ty ! o/
Very useful and to the point thank you
Really great video. I guess I knew some of the basics already with gas and generators but I probably would of wasted more time with solar cells and such. I think in the newer updates they will probably edit solar power to give it bonuses in deserts and stuff like that.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for making new content on this game!!
Thank you for the vid! I feel like you missed an important opportunity with the Battery Bank. Its for emplacements that you don't want to build and manage a bunch of generators. You can have one generator charge many batteries at a series of battery banks and then swap out batteries whenever you want. You don't even always need to charge them as you can just find new batteries with charge. Anyway I use them as personal power packs for traps and turrets that are not placed close enough other things that I charge with a generator. You could build multiple generators if you wanted... I don't think the noise is much of an issue. but I just think of the battery bank a useful portable tool.
I use batteries connected to a solar banks at little outposts that I don't want to bother checking up on every day. If you calculate the power usage correctly, the batteries will recharge infinitely through solar power.
thanks for that enlightening video
Thanks for the video
great info, thanks
amazing tutorial. I am about to build my electric defence and forgot how to do it.
Freakingtasting tutorial, thanks !!!!
nice vid prebuilt, they need to add wind turbines imo.
Thank you for this video
THANKS!
I wish they would make it possible to connect multiple generators or solar panels to one battery bank, but you can always overcome that obstacle by building multiple circuits with each circuit not exceeding 170 watts for solar panels (that way the battery bank recharges with the extra 10 watts during the day so it can run all night and fully recharge the next day).
Bro! I just learn a bucket load. Going to dig a hole under my pit and see how much I actually learned. I want to try out traps and auto doors
I didn't know the generator bank could recharge the batteries. I just spent on better barter to get solar with 6-cells. Should mention that generator banks don't generate heatmap. I assumed it did which is why I limited usage to horde nights, when heatmap couldn't possibly make things worse.
I thought I was familiar with electricity, having spec'd into engineering early, but got some good tips out of this.
Note: you will never run out of fuel even if a desert doesnt spawn.
When doing traders quests look for cars that spawn on P.o.i's as they will reset. Some of the Poi's out there have a few cars some have tons!
Thanks!
Just learned you could do this as well, so sent ya a buck hope it takes ya far haha ^.^
Gracias por la información!!
It would be good to show the effectiveness of the lights. The basic light gives off so little light its not even worth putting up. The square industrial light is OK, but the lanterns are superior in that they give the same light but need no electricity.
Excellent video, watched it right through twice but still find the whole wiring/electrics/trap aspect of the game needlessly complicated. Maybe it is just me :D Really wanted to try an intellect/traps & tech style play-through but the complexity is putting me off a tad.
I just watched this video, I had no idea how any of this worked. But now I have a better understanding. I do have a question, can you add a timer to the speakers? So one can set an alarm? Say, to go off every 6 days? To give you a warning before the seventh day?
I still don’t know how to use power even after watch your video but thank u for making it
So i could use solar arrays to charge batterys and then use a timer relay between the batteries and lights or traps that activates during the night.
Thank you for this video it was amazing and helpful! However there's one thing I don't get I setup my generator bank and battery Bank like you did however it won't recharge the batteries did they change something or well I just don't know any help?
I'd like to see a video about the practical uses of the tripwires. Maybe find something to use that alarm klaxon for; does it work on zombies during a blood moon horde? maybe it can be used to draw away a wandering horde into a killzone? That could have potential at very high gamestages when the wandering hordes are bigger with more dangerous zombies.
Gonna be 100% honest here, I have like 2k hours in this game and I have yet to *actually* use tripwires lmao, sam with the speakers. I just understand how they work and put them in the tutorial video in-case people can come up with something useful for them.
maybe they changed it but the power bank is loading itself while relaying the power from what i tested
this is still usefull if you forget to fuel your generator so that your stuff isnt offline when the horde is comming
In theory , you can build a light board where when something comes into a designated area a light will come on, allowing you to go to a specific spot on your base to see what it is
Great video but one question…
How to set a sensor to turn a switch on to turn battery bank on to turn turrets on?
This way power is only used when zombies are sensed rather than only ever turning the devices on/off via a switch….in effect automation
2 Questions: 1) If I had a Generator attached to Battery Pack and the battery pack attached to say a spotlight, how would i get it to charge the battery pack and not power the spotlight? (When you was explaining this it confused me (I'm also a new player)) 2) Towards the end with the 2-way door system can i go generator > floor trigger > power relay > floor trigger 2 for the same affect? (Like i cant stand wires going into the ground or through walls or anything of that sort.)
How are you placing the relays behind the doors I’m trying to figure this out. What block do I put down?
Two question, how to have infinite electricity? Can i just have solar bank to baterry banks and have it always recharged during the day? If all is powered it will eventually go off, or does it keep up always because its chargin during the day?
If i turn baterry bank or generators, and nothing is turned on at all, switch is off, does it still use baterry or gasoline? Can i leave it on all the time and just use a swtich?
Will the moiton sensor garage door open for anyone if the Garage door is locked? or just the players with access through PIN?
dont discount the battery bank you can have them charged and ready as a backup so if your generator runs out of fuel or damaged or solar isnt working the you have at least some time to fix the issue a few lights and wires and you can have a light system that will let you knkw what is running and what isnt
Ty
Interesting, I think they changed the oil shale thing because I spawned on a world where I have a POI that I think has placed oil shale under it
how to make the darts trap only shoot when the trigger floor being hit ? my dart trap is always firing
So my Solar Bank is limiting my Poweroutput if i put a Battery Bank between it and anything that uses power?
Hi, is there a difference between industrial and basic light bulb?
If they changed how batery bank charges, they would be good. Just make generator or solar bank conected to it charge it not to make relay when you conect them. If they did this batery bank would be amazing for craft base, in end game. All power always on, batteries always charged..
Nice tutorail for pc version. I play the ps4 version and only have a spotlight. No wires. No traps. We do not have 99% of the electric components.
They should have ac units so when you're in a hot environment you could cool down in your base
they do
@@darsinge3612 what??
I have a wire going from my switch to my generator but it doesn't turn on the generator. How can I flip a switch to turn on all power?
21:35 what do you need annoying alarm clocks for, might i add? how about an 1130-noon buzzer warning you that an Air Drop is inbound? but i'm a newb that leaves the air drop marker turned on so i don't have to think about going outside and triangulating its position. Using it from 2130-2200 is a good substitute approaching-night-time warning, if you don't live close to the trader compound
That's actually a good idea. Using them as timers for night. You could also use them for an alarm system for when something is attacking your base and you're far away from the door.
The alarms can be useful for drawing zombies away from your home base, in case a wandering horde stop by while you're chilling. Set off the alarm, they go after that noise, you shoot them in the back. Or you could lure them into a trap pit the same way.
The sirens are also good for luring zombies to a particular part of a hoard base. It can make leading them through traps easier.
I use them to tell me if there are zombies nearby while I'm doing stuff in my basement. They are louder than a screamer. But actually, by now I simply added a machine gun turret to kill the screamer immediately, but maybe you want to be alarmed about other players nearby without shooting them. Maybe you even want to alarm _them_, basically telling them that you are aware of them.
how do i pick up the land claim block?
I wonder what it would take to get this game in a better state iv seen many times in izprebuilts that he critizes the games flaws I wonder if their ever will be a mod or official update that fixes these flaws
Do any of these traps require the player to be nearby to work?
wait how does the pressure plates activate with a vehicle?
I will be honest, my PC is a high-end machine but damn, electricity in 7DTD is in a massive need of optimization... I just wanted to light up my base (around 50 lights) and it just ate my PC. I have to play on low settings to get acceptable FPS but at this point, just deal with screamers with 100 torches.

I found a bug. Connect a solar panel to a relay. Connect that relay to two battery banks. Stand nearby anywhere within 20 blocks. Your character will begin bouncing up and down if you stand still.
I just need a bit of clarification on the electric fence traps... if I have 3 active electric fences passing through the same block space, will all three traps damage zombies cumulatively, or will it do the same damage as a single fence? If it is cumulative that would mean a whole lot of damage potential in a single area, but that seems like it might be something FP would have nerfed already.
As I understand it from the gamefiles the zombie can only have 1 shock debuff applied to it at a time.
The shock debuff is what seems to apply the damage. so as far as I can tell, there is no advantage to having several electrified wires occupying the same space.
@@IzPrebuilt Makes sense to me since it wouldn't technically be more voltage. More comparable to getting caught in 2 snares at the same time as opposed to one.
I am confused about the pressure plates and motion sensors. How do you keep zombies/animals from triggering them and entering your base? If any entity walking across triggers the plate it seems to me zombies or bears could as well defeating the purpose of the door.
Motion sensors can be set to target players, neutrals, you and enemies. A pressure plate is configurable. If anything stands on a pressure plate, it sends out a current.
@@IzPrebuilt AH ty so much I have been afraid to try using them,
Maybe I missed it but I don’t remember sound being mentioned. In real life generators made aLOT of noise and would attract anything attracted to sound. This lead me to think that solar power is better, however you recommend generators. Is the game all fantasy in this aspect?
Generators don't make real sound. You can hear it but the zombies can't.
Sound is irrelevant in this game. The zombies are attracted to heat as the game uses a heat map. Weapons and tools all produce heat when used. Also fueled workbenches produce heat. You would think a Generator produces heat also since it's fueled but IzPrebuilt is correct it doesn't. There's some info about this in the journal under Activity Map.
This does give me a few ideas for my A20 bases, but I will need to think of a way to hide those ugly wires. And in terms of lights, is there not table side ones you can craft/table lamps you can find?
Yeah other lights do exist but they're not a part of the electricity mechanic.
Use junction boxes. wireless. xD
@@gamingfryu6638 Those aren't in the game.
@@IzPrebuilt That's what mods are for. xD
@@gamingfryu6638 Thanks for that stellar observation.
i tried to setup a big light and got electrocuted, rip

Is there a way on xbox to.do.this
Electricity isn't on the Xbox version of the game unfortunately. It hasn't been updated in 5 years.

Base videos are too dark to really see what you did.
Is this video still rative today?
Rative? If you mean to ask if it's still accurate... mostly but not all. Quite a bit has changed in three years. Solar stuff now appears at traders at trader level 55+ (won't go into how you get that, but it's basically your level modified by your tier with the trader and boosted by the Daring Adventurer perk), you can no longer craft stuff just by maxing out the skill and probably some other changes. In terms of the basics, though, it's all still correct and very useful.
I personally prefer solar -> battery bank with isolation switches to control the power relay. But for a horde base, the generator is absolutely fine.
Where's the comparator?
Not a thing in this game
