About This File

The oil drilling enterprise has come to SimNation at long last. Sims hope constructing some of these rigs will help alleviate continually-rising gas prices.  Because of this, as long as you place it far enough away from developed areas, Sims won't really mind its presence, even though it generates a considerable amount of pollution.

Suggestions for better costs/values? This is about what Somy's original download had; figured I'd stick with it for once.

I just downloaded this a few days ago -_- I think the plop cost is fine, but maybe making it into a reward would be better.

I was thinking the income could be something like $2000, because at $500 it takes nearly 60 years to pay off what you spent on it. At $2000 it would take about 15, which is much better IMO.

Love the look, but like the others $500/month doesn't offset the plop cost. On the other hand, I'm downloading it because I'm cheating in my current region anyway so money is no object!

Is there anyway to extend the apperance of the legs a little deeper to fit better with the clearer water textures available? The pollution should be pretty low too, I'll check that now I forgot to earlier.

Equinox. I think SOMY's original lot was 110k plop. If you added a cap boost for I-d or I-m, maybe a slight boost for I-ht then it would be worth the 350 or even a higher plop as these rigs are expensive to build anyway. (cont)

in either case above though, I would increase industrial demand all sectors (mostly I-d) and give it a negative mayor impact within a smaller tile radius as no one likes these (NIMBY). Also, you may have the pollution backward in RL terms?

Quote: "Power Consumed: 0 MWh/month". I'll give it some demand and cap effects, too, along with swapping the pollution values.

I still get a "no power" icon on this, despite the 0 power consumption. Makes me have to run a powerline to it which looks tacky.
