Sweep of sanification for electronic devices

[GuardianDll]

Summary

Balance "Battery tools sanification"

Purpose of change

Because i can
Also fix #76038

Describe the solution

Check each battery-powered tool in cooking.json, electronics.json and lighting.json, and tweak it's stat to match some irl counterpart; tweak it's power consumption and the way it is recharged

[Hyperseeker]

Regarding electrohack: we can probably justify it being UPS-only, rather having it use an external battery. UPS is kinda like USB anyway, isn't it?

[HadeanLake]

Does a regular flashlight have to run on a medium battery?

[GuardianDll]

Yes, i picked the flashlight that can use single 18650 specifically

[x-qq]

Could you please consider using a different flashlight model to base a heavy duty flashlight on? 5.4L is a very large volume.

Maybe this? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006026640261.html

[Hyperseeker]

For what it's worth, this model is what I imagine when I think of that in-game item.

However, even without accounting for the grip, it comes out to almost 4.2 L of volume. (4181.46 mL, to be precise.)

If you are talking about the model I posted, its cylindrical volume (= without accounting for the grip) should be 3.14* (5.5cm**2) * 22cm = 2089 cubic cm = 2.089L. How do you reach a 4.2 L number?

[Hyperseeker]

How do you reach a 4.2 L number?

...by mixing up length and diameter in calculation, LOL. My bad!

Your link return 404

[HadeanLake]

Your link return 404

it probably redirected you to aliexpress.ru
you can find workarounds for your region if you google about it

here is amazon link to same item:

This flashlight has complex shape. You cannot just multiply Product Dimensions as if it is just a box-shaped thing and expect calculated volume to be accurate

[GuardianDll]

it has complex shape, but since the game do not apply any volume penalties when you store multiple items of the same shape, we try to not calculate volume by displacement, but something like bounding hull; i can just decrease the volume of the original item by some margin because i indeed just multiplied three dimentions and called it a day

[HadeanLake]

ok. This should be added to doc somewhere then.

As for switching to this other flashlight model:
8.3*4*6 *2.54^3 = 3264 ml - one bounding hull- box. A lot more manageable than the first flashlight
(4*4*8.3+2*2*8.3) *2.54^3 = 2720 ml - two boxes - the square WxW profile flashlight and the handle of same length and H-W square profile.
The second calculation is not that far away from the cylinder + properly sized solid block handle which I calculated to be 2448ml

[GuardianDll]

ok i checked it, and this one has much smaller capacity comparing to old one, this one supposed to have something around 17 kj only (while consuming only 3 W comparing to 5 W, but it doesn't compensate it fully)
i''ll try to just tweak volume of original item instead

[RenechCDDA]

Further suggestions should either be posted as suggestion issues or PR'd elsewhere, this one is getting big enough as-is and we don't need to hold it up waiting to nitpick every little thing. Any further comments and reviews should be related to the existing changes in the PR or something already mentioned.

Just a general heads-up for interested parties.

[ZhilkinSerg]

Was this intended?

[GuardianDll]

Yes, eink readers do not have cameras, therefore should not have any capability to scan books

[ZhilkinSerg]

Well, some models have cameras and even OCR software. I own one of those - PocketBook 650 (and I am pretty sure there are other models with cameras too).

[GuardianDll]

huh, i honestly failed to find such
if this exist, i think item can be revisited to give ebooksave back (and check it's power consumption, some books are too big for it to be scanned, which i think is incorrect)

[harakka]

While that's a neat device, I don't think it's a good general representation of e-ink tablets that you're likely to find in people's homes in the US.

[Zireael07]

@harakka Do you refer to the ones with camera as being unlikely?

[harakka]

Yes.
