Electricity is almost ready!

So I was very reluctant to add electricity but it seems like it will be an increasingly important part of base design.

It has been a huge undertaking to add this system with all the electrical device functionality and make it work with other Fortify features. It will also be possible to import/export wired and working circuits with copy-paste files to/from Rust. In the future there will be plenty of Rust changes and additions to electricity to deal with.

To help support this work and further Fortity development It will be part of a new DLC that adds this and other new features like a day/night system. This (Fortify Pro?) DLC will get more additions over time. New features will still be added to the base version of Fortify. There’s still more work to do so I can’t give an exact date but it should be ready by mid-May.

I’m just a solo developer and one that’s still learning a lot along the way. Crazy that it will be 4 years of development in July. Thanks for the support!
