[proof of concept] High Power 10MW substation

This is a proof of concept for high power (here 10MW) substation. It's ugly, wrongly sized, and super cheep, as I can't really get around editor, but it works.

In many games I specialize in "modding" by editing a definition file directly, to read into and edit events objects and so on, so I decided to take a shot at it, and it did work.

Problem:
Big and dense cities use a lot of power within the range of one substation requiring placing multiple units.
Additionally since each substation requires road connection AND you only get half power when using underground cables placing all of those starts becoming a problem.
There are some items on workshop already that use either multiple connections or one high voltage one, but those substations are still limited to 2.50MW, and many people in comments say it's hard coded limit as you can't edit it in building editor

My solution:
In building.ini I added a single line "$CONSUMPTION_PER_SECOND eletric 7.50" this does not cause constant consumption, but rather increases substation capacity by that amount in megawatts.
Just to make sure I'm not crazy I made Large Water Accelerator to test if I can power all of that (as you can see in thumbnail).

Where to go next:
It would be nice if someone made a proper model and pricing for such high power substation. using idk... transformer or big heat exchanger as a base.
