Yeah, found it and tweaked some of the buildings settings myself - again, great - thanks : )

The excess power can be used for heating via the steam vent building.

Great mod, the only issue is that it produces 3x the amount of power you can actually pull from it through wires. The wired connections only allow for a total draw of 11,787MW.

7 x 2.35MWh + 10 x 18MWh = 196.45MWh or 11,787MW per day

Though it is great in the middle of an industrial park where the industrial buildings can draw power directly from the power station and the wired power can be exported to other districts.

Nice to see Battersea Power station in game.
I used to live by River Thames opposite.
So now I have it in game as well as on album cover.

no way that's the pink floyd album building in real life

just did some rough calculation, if i where to hook up the hv powerlines of 18mw all 10 of them than the remaining power into your heatvents, you would almost need 32 heatvents for the remaining power to be used..... i would say maybe add some more hv power line spots. power wise you can power 27,7 high voltage power lines of 18mw so having only 10 connections seems a bit low

This plant needs more high voltage connections!

Hey man. Great mod! Beautiful building! Smoke seems a little light, but i have not had it running under full load yet, so maybe it gets thicker then. lol

But i do have a minor suggestion, if possible, would you think about adding something to the heating building icon to show its the heater? For when it pops up as stop running for instance. Its just the power plant icon, so possible confusion as to what has stopped operating. Maybe add the little heating wavy lines to it or something. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for making this!

Look at the road cargo station for STATION_NON_BLOCKING you will also need to describe a route in and out.
Waltari 27 Aug, 2021 @ 1:18pm 
And you check my screenshot?
Novu  [author] 27 Aug, 2021 @ 6:08am 
Nothing wrong with the mod. See screenshot for more details.

Waltari 27 Aug, 2021 @ 2:01am 
i send them to bus stop and its same :(
Novu  [author] 26 Aug, 2021 @ 5:06pm 
The workers should just go there on their own. You don't have to send them. Just make sure they can reach the bus stop.
Waltari 26 Aug, 2021 @ 3:05pm 
wtf? i cant send workers to powerplant? https://prnt.sc/1qkof6o any ideas?
trexxet 7 Jul, 2021 @ 11:00am 
Tschibber, that's a game restriction. Devs have stated in recent report that this gonna be fixed.
Tschibber 4 Jun, 2021 @ 6:39pm 
Unfortunately, no! but this should be there in the mod editor. the loading point is also in the game.
Novu  [author] 4 Jun, 2021 @ 4:50pm 
I would add that feature but I have no idea how to make multiple vehicles enter the parking lot at the same time. If you know of a mod that has the feature I could easily copy the code and add it here.
Tschibber 4 Jun, 2021 @ 4:44pm 
the trucks drive one by one into the warehouse at many parking lots. can you change this so that several vehicles can drive in at the same time?

but it got an Extra Heat,so it is better :D
Jarosław polske zbaw 30 Mar, 2021 @ 2:01am 
mmm,this is like:Large Coal Power Plant,I don't know what is better (:
Novu  [author] 29 Mar, 2021 @ 4:32pm 
Realistically it would consume both.
geoitj 29 Mar, 2021 @ 4:27pm 
Obviously, great model, and the steel consumption as a shorthand for maintenance is a neat idea - would probably make more sense as mechanical parts, though?
Novu  [author] 29 Mar, 2021 @ 3:56pm 
Thank you sir for the video feature.
Oolykee 29 Mar, 2021 @ 9:38am 
Classic great work Mr. Novu!

I made a Mod Monday video with your mod in it.

Great Model, but Id like to have it included as an attraction similar to the real one
Brammered 29 Mar, 2021 @ 1:34am 
Real lovely model this! Nice work mate!
Novu  [author] 28 Mar, 2021 @ 8:52pm 
I am working on some electrical heating mods to go with this plant right now. Should be ready in about an hour or so.
Marius 28 Mar, 2021 @ 8:39pm 
Understandable when you want to show the historical values of the plant, I support that.

Anyway in the game this is absolutely overkill in my long experience: I like also playing in big scale, my republic has 118k people and consumes only max 300MW ...BUT this is because more than half of it is used in electrical heating mods, otherwise I am sure 150-200MW would be much more than enough for this population (and many trains, industries, only 6000 unemployed, exporting lots and full independent economy)

But yeah it is always welcome anyway you can regulate amount of people and then production, it would be probably also a nightmare to feed it with coal at max, production rate :D
Thanks!
Novu  [author] 28 Mar, 2021 @ 8:22pm 
@Marius 500MW is more realistic than the output from the other power stations in the game. The model is based on a real building which actually had an output of 500MW which really isn't that much. Consider the average person draws about 1kw and industrial workers at their jobs pull an additional 2-3k MW on top of what they use at home. That means this plant can power a city of about 140,000 to 150,000. By real life standards that is not that big. Most cities that size only have 1 power plant.

Given most players will probably never use that but I have a whole series of mods for people who like to play on the small scale.

Sry, my bad, didn't read the description before commenting... goes to show, though, that the model is good!
Jeez, I used to go past that on the train every day on my way to work!!! Derelict as anything, but sooo impressive!
-KC- Krakenpots 28 Mar, 2021 @ 7:09pm 
Battersea powerstation?
Marius 28 Mar, 2021 @ 5:19pm 
Really good but man it is overkill 500 MW, even half of these MW would be too much :lunar2019shockedpig: Nuclear plant double reactor produces 153MW..
dennis 28 Mar, 2021 @ 3:28pm 
Really great, i love the model! could you make a balanced version with a scaling of building cost and power output like the in-game one? (e.g. 2-4x). Higher maintanance costs could also be repllicated by more staff.

Cool! Thank you/

Great mod, this is the powerhouse that was in sim city 3000!)
