Hydroelectrical Powerhouse

Power Plants

Description
Power Plant wich produces 5MW out of 100m3 of water and employing 8 workers. Two water input pipes, and two low voltage and also one high voltage connections are available. It should be placed partially in water.

A water well (Tower Well) wich needs no electricity is added as water resource, but it should be built at enough height in order to provide speed enough for reaching up the max. production of the plant.
This is a way of reenact a dam and his hydropower plant as they are not present in the game.

Otherwise can vanilla pumps be used, and a vanilla water well using electricity. An auxiliar power grid would be then needed.
Also added a version of the water tower (Water Tower Deposit) as a regular water reservoir-forebay (400m3).

You can circle in-game through the models once a building is selected with the keys Q and E.

Little story - roleplay:
Based on an hydrolectrical power plant complex built in northwestern Spain near a dam (Fuente del Azufre) in 1949, and in use until 1964. The power house had two swiss turbines producing 5MW, a third one was planned but never settled. Today it is abandoned.

Made in Blender, textures from the real building and similars or free download. Custom sounds. LOD and bump map added.

@Bonarius
Not broken as seen in the game screenshots using all connections. Terrain as with all game objects partially placed in water need to be carefully prepared before, and in general is something a bit buggy even for vanilla objects but it works.

Underground cables work better but also I used it with normal HV cables with no issues, you can try to re-build terrain after placed it also.

I think it's broken, I placed it multiple times in different positions and it transformed the terrain under it in water - making impossibile to place HV cables and sometimes roads too

@Krampusz123 Thanks.
Not an easy way, because it must be taken in account not just the costs of the building itself, also the infraestructure around it: water pipes, the well without electricity I included; or vanilla pumps and wells, and auxiliar grid.

Also you need a special place, with water around for the turbines hall and a hill to get enough speed for water. The real building got his water from a dam at higher height across pipes. Here I reenact the dam with the free electricity Water Tower Well wich was in RL a forebay to concentrate and speed up more the water just some metres above the hall.

Resources itselves for the plant are mostly generated by the game itself with some tinkering, and around 100 tons of concrete, more than 40 of steel, aroud 20 gravel, 15 bricks, 5 of boards; and finally I added also 3 tons of mechanical components and also 1.5 electro compo.
They are for my understanding balanced to vanilla and even other similar, realistical, mods.

neat idea nicely done. Can we have stats to build it ? I feel it is quite strong and easy way to get electricity, so Im hoping it is offset by price of mechanical and electrical components built in it

Thanks dudes, glad that you liked it :lunar2019coolpig::steamthumbsup:

So very simple, yet so clever. Nice work.

@Droidhacker: Thanks I only added water as resource, at a rate the game can handle it. I hope someday the game have complete water dynamics for dams etc:lunar2019coolpig: :)

@gonzaldd: Muchas gracias, me alegra te guste :steamthumbsup:

@felipe-cz: gracias :steamthumbsup:
