This is the Battersea Power Plant in London [pbs.twimg.com] that was used by Pink Floyd for the Animals album cover, with the shown pig.

Looks more like a coal plant than the skylines one

This is great. Plopping this down brings back a ton of memories. I could amost swear I heard the SC3 sound for this when I dropped it in game. Thank you for making this! Cheers!

Sure thing man. Looks nice!

Hey Doughnut. I released an improved version of your plant, with an extra LOD mesh and improved night light texture: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=640815469

I hope you are ok with that.

Fantastic job on the lighting. Thank you!

Updated for After Dark

This is a great assett, not only because of nostalgic value, it adds a nice gritty realistic touch. I wonder if you could update it for After Dark, thanks in advance!

This so AWSOME!!!!

I can't tell you how many times I had this orange roof in some neglected corner of my map. It's beautiful.

Yes yes yes yes! What a nostalgia trip. I agree with it needing to look just a little bit dirtier, but man, this is a great model! Much better than the vanilla coal power plant which just looks plain weird.

This was always my favorite power plant in SC 3000
Muspell 26 Apr, 2015 @ 9:50am 
could provide a little bit mmore power. otherwise u end up like MagicBinaryCode with his picture ^^

@Face_OF_Insanity The RA1 powerplant and SC3000 are both based on an old coal powerplant in the UK, Battersea

Can't believe EA shut down Maxis

@Magic, holy shit...

Hope you can fix it soon! But glad you have the same problem hehe!
Pietje  [author] 22 Mar, 2015 @ 2:16pm 
@static, yes! I have noticed it though unsure how to approach the problem. I'll investigate further!
static 22 Mar, 2015 @ 1:54pm 
@Florius, I'm experiencing the same distortion in the icon image on the toolbar. Have you noticed this in your game, Doughnut? Thanks for all your work, your models are gorgeous!
Pietje  [author] 21 Mar, 2015 @ 10:37am 
@eobet & @Face_OF_Insanity, Battersea powerplant is used as the basis for a lot of powerplants. :)
Face 21 Mar, 2015 @ 10:13am 
is it me or does this look more like a powerstation from red Alert 1?

anywas GG good mod :P
eobet 21 Mar, 2015 @ 9:58am 
You do realize that this is the Battersea Power Station in London, right?
Pietje  [author] 21 Mar, 2015 @ 7:23am 
@Damo, I understand your point, but that's something the game should do with a shader. Custom animations aren't supported by the engine so I guess animated shaders aren't also.
@Florius, I have the same icon. I'm still not sure what is causing this.
Ryster 21 Mar, 2015 @ 5:44am 
@Damo: Why would a new power plant be dirty? Getting dirtier over time would be nice, not sure that's possible though.
Florius 20 Mar, 2015 @ 10:16am 
In the game on the bar, the icon for the coal plant looks really weird. (Screenshot: http://puu.sh/gIg7K/cb42e76d31.jpg) . Is it possible to fix this or is it something on my side?
ilovebeerbeerbeer 20 Mar, 2015 @ 3:35am 
Fantastic... All this needs is a flooting pig and we have Animals, A Pink Floyd album cover...
cRAGGLEOz 20 Mar, 2015 @ 1:56am 
You're awesome!
<Insert name here> 20 Mar, 2015 @ 1:18am 
My only gripe with this is it needs to look more dirty , i want the chimneys tops to be thick with black soot and the roof to be dark and dirty , overal tho good effort!
Nihil 19 Mar, 2015 @ 11:06am 
Oh! Right in the nostalgia! *dies*
Ash243x 18 Mar, 2015 @ 11:11pm 
oh wow, this is so good; great job!
Falco054 18 Mar, 2015 @ 8:36pm 
that nostalgia is REAL, great work mate!
Pietje  [author] 17 Mar, 2015 @ 2:59pm 
@Afflicted One, working on it.
[TB] NickyZero 17 Mar, 2015 @ 2:31pm 
Super cool :)
Rosa 17 Mar, 2015 @ 8:49am 
Please make separate LOD models for your assets.
Baleur 16 Mar, 2015 @ 7:57pm 
This looks so disgusting and gloomy. In a beautiful great way, amazing work.

Battersea Powerplant :)
Beerke 16 Mar, 2015 @ 11:10am 
god yes
Giant Bearded Face 16 Mar, 2015 @ 10:10am 
So much wee came out.
JAB 16 Mar, 2015 @ 6:18am 
My understanding was that if you didn't make one yourself, the game created one for you, but that authors had the option of creating their own LOD model. I could be wrong, of course.
Pietje  [author] 16 Mar, 2015 @ 1:27am 
@JAB, the LOD model is something the game handles on its own. I've seen other mods suffer the same giant low resolution model. My guess is it's just a bug.
JAB 15 Mar, 2015 @ 6:49pm 
Very nice! Would you mind creating a better low LOD model for when zoomed out? As it is now, when you zoom out, the roof disappears. :)
343 Guiltyspark 15 Mar, 2015 @ 12:46pm 
I love it. Please keep making more Sim City 3 style buildings!
z 15 Mar, 2015 @ 11:52am 
Oh god... the nostalgia is too strong... great work!
Pietje  [author] 15 Mar, 2015 @ 11:32am 
@Keine Lust, I've noticed none of the custom content features accurate icons. I can only upload a screenshot of my model in the Asset Editor for the Workshop, but I'm not able to create thumbnails for it. Hopefully that will change.

As for your question about the pollution. I figured since the new Coal Power Plant looks so fancy schmancy and this one was originally created in 1999, it should probably be a little more polluting! I'm sorry! ;)
Keine Lust 15 Mar, 2015 @ 11:27am 
Can you please fix the icon? Also, shouldn't it pollute just as much as the regular Coal Plant? Otherwise, loving it! :D
Blackfyre 15 Mar, 2015 @ 9:12am 
@Doughnut, maybe it's just the game or the map's colour scheme interfering with your texture's colours? But you're right, it actually rather fits the game's existing palette.. In any case, this plant is going to be a staple of my industrial zones from now on.. :)
SeanCMNJ 15 Mar, 2015 @ 7:23am 
What a great idea! Would love to see more classic SC buildings in here.
Pietje  [author] 15 Mar, 2015 @ 7:10am 
@Blackfyre, you're right. The texture is actually brown and grimy, so not sure what happened. In all honesty, I kind of like the saturated 'happy' color. Chimes in better with the already existing color palette of the game. :)
Blackfyre 15 Mar, 2015 @ 5:43am 
I really like it, but the rooftop texture seems a bit too orange.. Seems like a more grimy brown texture would've fit the theme a little better. Nevertheless, excellent model; definite download!
