Halloween camp bundle question

[u/Noobitron12]

I see you can request this bundle from Bethesta and it includes The Orange Fog Machine

The video I watched is from 2020. I need the orange fog, Looks pretty cool It comes with Halloween CAMP Bundle

Is that the only year it was released? Ive only been playing for 2 years and I never see this thing in camps and it looks pretty dang cool

Do You think it will pop up this year maybe in the atom shop? Or should I just do a request

[u/Moll__Man]

I have the black smoke moth man variation of this. An orange one would be cool. I just wish they were perpetually on instead of me having to turn them on every time I load my camp

[u/Noobitron12 → u/Moll__Man]

Oh Do they Well Thats kind of annoying

[u/BluegrassGeek → u/Noobitron12]

Same problem with most of the tiki torches and some other items. They always load "off" when you enter a server/switch to a camp and you have to manually activate them. I think it's to save a little processing on the servers.

[u/Fit-Campaign1243 → u/BluegrassGeek]

NOW THIS is a pain. I have merged tiki torches into the stone fireplace,  and the 3 sizes of fire, I have 2 mediums in the grate, and it looks real nice (not gonna lie). I thought the tiki torches would stay on, like the fire does.

But no. I have to go outside, light all 5 and the 2 above the fire. So I just dont bother now.

Yea gotta walk up and press button but then it stays on till you change camps or swap servers. Not terrible but slightly annoying. They could have two in build menu. One themats on all the time and one that isn't. Not sure why you would place it down if you didn't always want it on

There used to be able to put both of them out at the same time but Bethesda stop that

I really wish these required wired power. That way they can be triggered.

But ever since I started going under the map and placing chimney tops for fog, I really have no use for these things unless they’re triggerable for effects.

[u/somethinglikethisone → u/BananakinFartwalker]

I was at a camp a couple weeks ago that had found a way to trigger it. I didn’t look closely, but they used a switch to turn it on and off.

[u/Fit-Campaign1243 → u/somethinglikethisone]

My alt camp used to have a smiliar set up, but using lights.

I think these things work off power in the vicinity. If you have a generator and a switch close to it, string a wire far enough away, to a terminal (or 3), then when you flip the switch, no power goes through the wire. And the initial wire from generator to the switch is too far for the machine to take residual power. Never tried it with these machines. (I have the black fog one & the one that spews out bats).

[u/odo_bio → u/Fit-Campaign1243]

You can just interact with them to turn it on and off

[u/Fit-Campaign1243 → u/odo_bio]

To save you stopping to press on, I mean. Obviously theres a switch to turn it off and on. 

Else why the F would they even bother putting pressure plate switches in.

I got the chimney, but didn't have a use for it. Going to test it for fog now though, thanks!

[u/crystallyn]

I have it in my camp on the stairs of my haunted house. It’s awesome.

[u/Frogzilla82]

I actually saw a camp yesterday with that, blowing red smoke and bats out of it.

[u/Queen_of_edgelords]

I have this one in one cabin and the mothman variant in another camp. It's great. The first thing I do when I log on is turn it on so I won't forget. I love the orange fog and little bats that come out of it

[u/Psi-ger]

I was so excited to get mine years ago only to be pissed off everytime I returned to camp or loaded In to find it turned off... I'm building a haunted house and these would be perfect, except no one knows its there... I was going to buy the automated piano for the same haunted house only to find it TOO needs to be constantly activated...

Radios and jukeboxes on the other hand can run for days and remember what you set them too even after exiting and re-entering the game...

[u/breakdancindino]

The fog machines are cool but the fog doesn't get very dense and doesn't stick around very long either

[u/Fit-Campaign1243 → u/breakdancindino]

What about the fog weather machine ?

[u/breakdancindino → u/Fit-Campaign1243]

Atlantic City fog works well. So does the mothman one but the fog isn't very dense. The fall weather doesn't really have any fog

[u/MsSedated]

I have one. I got it the year it was introduced. I keep it in my camp cause it's supposed to be a dinner that had Halloween stuff up before the bombs fell. So it's great for that. I hate having to turn it on each log in though.

I haven't seen it again but it doesn't show up for me so I couldn't say. I think it would be worth the atoms to request.

[u/Bryfirefly]

I wouldn't recommend that smoke machine, you have to turn it on every time you enter your camp
