Description:

This is a pack of high voltage undersea cable connections. In the game, they are just transformers and monuments, but serve the same purpose. It costs roughly twice as much per unit length, but you can now connect islands in sea-based maps!

This pack contains:
8 cables, increments of 150 m:

500 m 650 m 800 m 950 m 1.1 km 1.25 km 1.4 km 1.55 km

It also contains:
1 monument with clipping, meant to be placed on the other end of the cable. Place the cable and the connection first, and then put the monument over it to complete the appearance (this is just so it looks nice). I recommend planning everything before building to make sure everything looks right.

Unfortunately, I cannot but cables down into the water, or do some other neat design, so these are just two transformers on two sides of a body of water.

These undersea cables cost roughly twice as much per unit length. On the cable end, there are 2 HV connections, and 1 MV connection. The other end only has one HV connection. Please remember that all transformers have a hard limit of 19 MW, so keep that in mind.

IMPORTANT:
If you choose a long undersea cable, you must have the building within view (you can see it on the screen), or the HV connection becomes invisible. There is nothing I can do to make this not happen, but it shouldn’t be too hard to work around it since you won’t need many of these cables.
