About This File

Do you remember the good old SimCity 2000 era, where microwaves from space were used as sometimes hazardous, but reliable and clean power source in particular? Now, it has finally returned, the microwave power plant, which receives the beam from a satellite that collects the rays of the sun in earth's orbit. The capacity of this facility is equal to the hydrogen power plant, but the other values are the same as the ones from the solar power plant, which makes the microwave power plant an attractive power source, providing the sims with long-lasting, environment-friendly power. But be careful, when the beam misses the receiver, the next fire station shouldn't be too far away! Dependent on the selected difficulty level, the power plant will become available when certain requirements are met (look below for a list), i. e. you'll need the space port in "hard difficulty", since you'll also need a satellite in space that reflects the solar rays to earth first...

You can select the Power Plant version of this lot from the utilities - energy menu and plop it in your city. This BAT has the same statistics like the solar power plant, but far more output. It is a reward lot which has certain requirements, dependent on the difficulty level:

Easy difficulty: available right from the beginning Medium difficulty: 10,000 residents, 500 high-tech jobs Hard difficulty: 25,000 residents, 2,000 high-tech jobs, spaceport

Thisdownload comes with an EXE installer; Mac users can use FileJuicer to extract the files.

is there realy such a thing as a microwave power plant? to make it more realistic can i suggest that it be changed to a 'Solar Dish'? For my game ill be doing just that cause i like realism, and ill change a few stats to suite me but KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! :)

Very, very, good! Not like many of the power plants available that are completely unrealistic. This has upsides and downsides, just like a default power plant. But I do like the idea of a bright glow in center of the dish. It would look cool...

@shriramvenu, this microwave power is present since SimCity 2000, it's an antologic thing. (sorry if mispelled)
