About This File

This beautiful creation is the work of Somy, a modeller from Japan.  Functionally similar to the microwave plant of SC3K, this power plant harnesses the power of the sun's ultraviolet rays and concentrates them into a beam of incredible energy, which is then converted to useable electricity in the core of the facility, deep underground.  Due to the workings of this giant magnifying glass, there is a quite severe fire danger!  Make sure you have a well-funded fire station nearby to prevent it from catching fire (if it does, and it's not extinguished quickly, it will blow up).  If you keep it funded well, it has an expected lifespan of approximately 1,400 years (the high plop cost pays for this longevity).

OK. Now, normally, I'd probably give two thumbs up, but I'm getting a problem: It's showing me a huge brown box. Any ideas?

I actually d'loaded from Somy's site before I found your exposition of his work, and I must say that I absolutely adore this BAT! It is functional, futuristic, and most importantly, beautiful to look at. I could spend all day watching it! Fantastic work, and pass on my many, many, many thanks to Somy :D
