Description:

Massive coal power plant wich produces 167 MW (historical data) employing 125 workers and 25 engineers. It provides 11 HV and 4 LV power connections.

The plant comes up with 2 railway connections wich can be used to transport workers directly or specially the coal wich will be stored in a huge internal coal storage of 2500 tn, not needing therefore external storages. Helping with the delivering there are 5 non-blocking vehicle stations wich can be used simultaneously, with 2 road connections forming a one-way road inside the building (wich is mandatory to be connected in both ends to your road net in order for the plant to be constructed and work)

It is update-ready for the new water and sewage beta, having water connections available and water consumption (for refrigeration and steam), with an internal water storage of 100m3.

This plant can probably satisfy all the power needs of the biggest republics. It is balanced according to the vanilla double reactor power plant, being in comparison a bit cheaper producing more power (with a tolerable-vanilla consumption of coal) but resulting in the other hand in a considerable pollution.

Added also the offices-control building as standalone item, working in two differencied versions: as a city hall (45 workers) and a residential building (130 residents, self-heating).

Little story

Based approximately on a power plant built in northern Spain in the late 40s ("Compostilla I") wich used local coal to feed 8 boilers for 3 turbogenerators of american production. In 1957 were added the last 3 boilers wich were so huge that they just didn’t fit in the original building so the roof had to be broken to make room for the new parts resulting in a quite "steampunk" silhouette. It remained in use until the 70s. Today is planned to become a museum, as the offices building is used by public organizations.

Modeled by me in blender, plus some additional items ripped from the game (convoyer, electric grid, cranes).
Textures adapted from real pictures of the plant, from free download, and from the game for the additional elements.
