Electrical

Electrical is a Crafting skill in Project Zomboid is used to create small electrical devices and to operate generators, a source of power once the power cuts out. This is a great thing to do if you have the required fuel to operate it. Non-Electrician occupations can also operate generators, but it requires finding certain skill magazines.

Usage

To unlock the recipes for several different electrical items such as the generator and to use them, the Electrical skill is leveled by dismantling electronic devices, such as CD Players and Headphones. A Screwdriver is required for dismantling electronics into scrap parts. Each craft gives 1 XP. At the moment, there are not any Skill Books for the Electrical skill, so leveling it is time consuming. It is possible to skip the grind by choosing the Electrician or Engineer occupation in the character creation menu. You can find items such as, an Electronics Magazine that teach recipes of electronics.
