Electric Shears Inconsistent

Game Talk The Garage
1

Found a farm with sheep and wanted to try shearing them so I made a pair of electric shears.
The shears are weird, they have built in 100 unit battery that’s not unloadable but I modified it with a UPS conversion and now it says UPS (x/100) like a smartphone.

Maybe they missed an update pass when the newer battery system got implemented?
The data for them appears to be in \data\json\items\tool\pets.json
{
“id”: “elec_shears”,
“type”: “TOOL”,
“name”: { “str”: “electric_shears”, “str_pl”: “electric_shears” },
“description”: “These electric shears can be used to shear animals quicker.”,
“weight”: “1200 g”,
“volume”: “1200 ml”,
“price”: 2400,
“to_hit”: -1,
“bashing”: 2,
“material”: [ “plastic”, “steel” ],
“symbol”: “;”,
“color”: “dark_gray”,
“qualities”: [ [ “SHEAR”, 3 ] ],
“ammo”: “battery”,
“initial_charges”: 100,
“max_charges”: 100,
“charges_per_use”: 25
}
It doesn’t look quite like the entries for electronics.json for example.

They were added recently (after the battery system change). I guess it was just overlooked.

PS: Since that’s a base game feature, I’ve moved this topic over to the garage.

There’s also an “_” in the name instead of a space.
And they don’t actually need any charge to shear sheep.

If I’ve seen right, this was fixed four days ago.

Not sure if that was fixed too. I’ll add it to my checklist.
