Support for test generatorsFixed
Can it be done?
What exactly is a test generator?
I use this plugin

Electric Generator Tweaker

There are two generators available , There is the test generator  which requires no fuel , and the fuel generator which requires low grade fuel,

Yeah its possible to adjust a test generator, but the plugin will break if facepunch changes that item. I don't want to touch the adjustment of that generator until it becomes a perm item in the game.

You have to realise that any if not all plugins can/could break in future FP  "improvements" , In the meantime i use the tweaks and adjustments that the plugins enable, I will worry about them breaking in the future when it happens, I have seen 20 of my favourite plugins disappear due to game changes/developer losing interest over the last 5 years, But thats life, 

You also have to understand that the reason people lose interest in developing is because of the many changes and they dont build a plugin with the future in mind. I keep up to date with the changes in rust because I still like to play the game. As a lead software engineer (which I do professionally) I have to make decisions that may have implications in the future. I do not know what they will do with this generator and its kind of up in the air right now. This plugin is pretty stable, and unless they add more components I will keep the plugin as is for now. You can be frustrated with me all you want, but I do this stuff for free because I like to do it and it benefits my Rust server. I share this plugin because I know it can help people, not to please a community. I do care about the quality of my work, but I do not appreciate being scolded for a decision that I make for the plugin that I give to the community for free. You can ask for features and as the plugin developer I can say no, its just how it works. I thank everyone for all of the support but please be respectful to me.

Please highlight the text where i indicated i was frustrated with you or showed disrespect or scolding ? , The first thing you asked was "what is a test generator ?"  , it is pretty clear what it is and it was introduced before the replacement low fuel one. I pointed out to the original poster that there was an existing plugin that did what he requested without any changes to your plugin (which i dont use) ,

This is your frustration because you don't understand my perception. Please remember that I do have the ability to say no. I appreciate your passion, but its a no for this one.

My frustration is your unfounded belief that i have asked you to do something ? , I have already stated that I do not use your plugin, My communication was to the original poster regarding test generators. I have been running a server now with plugins for 5 years and realise that plugins dont last due to various reasons none of which lead to any frustration on my part,

I don't know why we are aruging, if you were trying to teach me something I'm lost in the principle. Your original comment that you quoted me just confuses me. All I said is I don't want to implement it because its not a permanent item. Lets leave this here and be done.
