Extensive Power Rework B42

Update:
Hey everybody, first of all thanks for all the feedback and bugreports, im working/tracking these. I also wanted to quickly update and tell everybody that i wont be able to work as much on my mods as i would like do to personal reasons. I will try my very best to still put as much work into my mods as my personal life allows me. Again thank you people for all the feedback and ideas and so on, i said this on my other mod aswell but i think its so cool so many people seem interested in my vision for this mod and i think thats really neat. 🙂

⚡ Overview
When the power shuts off, it doesn’t have to stay that way. Travel to real utility sites, repair critical
components, and bring the grid back online.

🔌 Power Network

– 🏭 Louisville Power Plant — main generation (prerequisite)
– ⚡ Louisville South Substation — powers West Point, Valley Station, Louisville Airport
– ⚙️ Muldraugh Electrical Substation — powers Muldraugh, Rosewood, March Ridge, Fallas Lake
– 🌉 Riverside Relay Station — powers Riverside
– 🧱 Irvington Substation — powers Irvington, Echo Creek, Ekron, Brandenburg
– ⚡ Sprite generators: anything that looks like a genertor can be used as one, so if you see a sprite of a Generator,
chances are you can use that to power the sorrounding area.

❓ FAQ
Q: Does this add new structures?
A: No, it uses existing map locations with custom UI/context.

Q: Can I add mid‑save?
A: Should be fine, but back up saves.

Q: MP compatible?
A: Yes in testing, but report issues if you find any.

Q: Compatible with TikiTown?
A: Not yet (maybe future).

Any problems regarding Bugs/errors need to be fully explained (i.e. What Mods did you have, whats the load order, MP or SP ect) otherwise i wont be able to actually change and fix stuff.
Also MP still seems bugged, im working on it but wont make any promises.
