Electricity Relay Station

Description
*UPDATED* 09-25-2015
Completely remade the asset with updated building model and added lights.

Electricity Relay Station by Petreak

A small Electricity Relay Station that can be placed in remote areas to generate and transfer electricity.

This is based off of the Solar Power plant in game.

This asset uses my Short Chain Link Fence Prop.

and

The Chain Link Fence Gate Prop.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=438061705

Added a "Danger High Voltage" sign to the asset.

*NOTICE*
The above props are NOT included with the Relay Station, you need to download them to have them be part of the asset.

This asset can be placed anywhere as long as it's on ground. It can't be placed on water. It does not have to be next to a road, but you can place it under bridges as long as they are high enough.
(hold the Right Mouse Button and move your mouse left or right to rotate it, or just click the RMB once to rotate it 45 degrees at a time.)

This is a new model that I created.
Stats:
Cost: $1500
Upkeep: $50.00 / week *$10 a MW of power*
Power Output: 5 MW
Noise Pollution: 1

*Notice*
The original version of this that didn't generate power got broke somehow and I couldn't fix it. I have deleted it. I might see about creating a new version of it and uploading it later. Sorry if this inconveniences anyone.

When I was originally making the relay station, I looked for different reference pictures and some I found had solar panels in them. I figured they were for some kind of backup systems or something and I liked the way they looked, so I added them.

Just came back to the game and have to say I am glad this asset is still around. I love using it as a game starter or to help extend power in tricky areas.

@AngryDragon, I am actually out in AZ, USA and most of our substations have solar panels attached to them. From what I understand they arn't there to actually generate power but to keep the automatic monitoring & alert systems powered in the case of an outage. That way even if the whole area goes down the home office still knows where the actual breaks in the network are. Probobly more useful in rural areas that in the heart of a city but thats what i always figured the design had them for :)

People kept complaining about it having too many triangles, so I just deleted it. It was my first attempt anyway and this one is much better. I don't even play the game anymore. Also, I accidentaly deleted your comment, sorry about that.

I really like the idea of a sub stations, we've got those all over the place in Québec. They are quite literally part of the landscape and some are larger than your average shopping center. With that said, I really don't understand why there are solar panels. It really tickles my sense of aesthetic. Theses are meant to distribute power. They do not generate power, so the solar panels really feel out of place. Small offices, bundles of wire, spare transformers, utility trucks would have been more appropriate.

Great work love it.

Thanks D34DLY! I haven't played the new add ons, so I'm glad it's still working.

Still going strong with new patch. Very useful as remote power source, for connecting power grid to new areas, and filling in unused spaces. It has become indispensable. Thanks!

fantastic work, cheers for sharing;

I've never had any performance issues with it and I use it all over my cities. Never had any complaints from anyone about performance issues while using it either. This is the reduced triangle version. You should see the original one I made, which was my first model that I ever made. It was way higher in triangles.
